        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        In 1988, the placement of this variable within Post question order
        varied according to questionnaire 'Form' (see VCF0012).

        The order in which VCF9013-9018 questions appeared in the original
        studies varied from year to year.  In addition, in 1988 the order of
        egalitar-ianism items was scrambled among form B respondents (see
        VCF0012).  In 1984, the egalitarianism series was administered with a
        break mid-sequence.
