This is true of other items on that page, e.g., EST2TEX is only found on
muendler site, berkeley, SELMLOG is not found...
The SSC archive describes many items for which the ado- and hlp-files
themselves, and the associated 'pkg' files that permit their installation
within Stata, reside on the archive's eerver. It also contains items which
do not reside on the server -- e.g. est2tex, selmlog, and so on. The latter
items will not be found on SSC by 'findit', since 'findit' is generating a
list of SSC contents from the 'pkg' files. For very good security reasons,
Stata will not allow a 'pkg' to install files from a different machine;
thus, the only 'pkg' file for est2tex lives on the author's machine, not on
SSC.
