Kit,

Thanks much. I probably should have know this.

I have a seemingly simple question.  When I try to uninstall a user 
written
ado file (specifically an older version of estout using the command "ado
uninstall estout"), I receive the following error message:

criterion matches more than one package
r(111);

I must have installed a previous version of estout without removing an 
even
earlier one.  I can't see an easy solution listed in the ado help file. 
  How
can I remove all older versions of estout (so that I can download the 
latest
version posted to SSC last week?


This is a common problem; the tracking file that Stata uses to figure 
out what you have done before gets addled. However using the 'replace' 
option on ssc

ssc install foo, replace

will deal with it properly---you don't have to uninstall first. ssc 
will just overwrite any existing files with what it now downloads.
