It was developed and is maintained by the Computer-assisted Survey Methods Program (CSM) at UC Berkeley.

It was developed as a companion program with CASES (Computer Assisted Survey Execution Program), a package for collecting survey data based on structured questionnaires, using a variety of modes of data collection.

It operates on a transposed file structure, which makes analysis of datasets, especially large datasets, extremely fast.
