I can only guess that Fengyu Zhang did not get the correct story when he
called, since nothing he said matches StataCorp policy or price lists that our
sales people all have.
Those who purchased Stata 7 under a GradPlan in the last four months
(September, October, November, or December) receive a FREE software upgrade
to Stata 8, they pay only the cost of shipping for the CD and a new Getting
Started manual.
Now, concerning documentation, if they want it:
o For those who purchased in October, November, or December, new
documentation corresponding to their original documentation set is
heavily discounted. For the most common documentation set (the
Reference manuals and User's Guide), this amounts to $70 (plus
shipping).
o For those who purchased in September, new documentation, is available
at the current documentation pricing ($129 for the most common
GradPlan documentation set).
