        To construct this variable, the component vars are first recoded as   
        follows:   VCF0604: 1=0,2=33,3=67,4=100;  VCF0605: 1=0, 2=100;        
        VCF0606,VCF0608: 1=0,2=50,3=100.  The recoded values are then         
        totalled and divided by the number of valid responses.  The result    
        is then rounded.
