User-written resources
Some of these resources are based on earlier versions of Stata. These are
also useful for users of Stata 10, because Stata preserves features from
earlier versions. Because Stata is cross-platform, even if tutorials claim
to require a particular operating system, they will be applicable to all
platforms; only the default directories and path specifications will be
different.
