This is a very small bug, and one often
tripped over, and one almost as often fixed.
The file rndpoi.ado from sg44_1 by
accident defines a program -rndpoi1-.
You need to edit that so that it defines
program -rndpoi-.
Having said that, Bobby Gutierrez's -genpoisson-
is easier to use and (as recently revised)
uses an algorithm which is reliable over
much more of the parameter space.
