Open Master. Do File in R

I'd like to know how to convert a ".do" file and use a file directory from the American Economic Association in R. The file appears to be written in Stata. And, while there are plenty of packages to convert .dta and other file types in R, I can't seem to find anyway to convert this particular file structure. Here is a link to the paper/data

The read.me file says that we first have to open a "master.do" file, which I guess then makes use of the other files in the directory. I don't have access to Stata, and couldn't get R to open any of the syntax files.

Thanks for your help!
