The "Maryland Demography etc." are probably the Demographic and Health
Surveys.
Check out the World Bank web. The Living Standard Measurement Study for
Tanzania is available:
http://www.worldbank.org/
There is also info about other surveys of developing countries and how to
obtain them.

One of the Demographic and Health Surveys (Phillipines) can be found at
the University of Michigan Pop Center:
http://www.psc.umich.edu
Michigan also offers other types of household and income surveys.
I don't think any of these are in a system dependent form, but the DHS
data can be purchased on diskette with SPSS data definition statements.
