Clive Nicholas <[email protected]> asks about the LaTeX style
files used by the Stata Press, of which -stata.sty- is one:

The Stata Press LaTeX documentclass and style/package files are not part of
any TeX distribution.
The Stata Press LaTeX files were originally developed for the Stata Journal.
An introduction to using these files is at
http://www.stata-journal.com/author/
Unfortunately, this page is slightly out-of-date; but will be updated
soon. The up-to-date introduction in plain text form is available at
http://www.stata-journal.com/production/sjlatex/sjstart.txt
This website discusses the -sjlatex- package that contains a Stata program
that will download the LaTeX files:
. net from http://www.stata-journal.com/production
. net install sjlatex
If you do not want to use -sjlatex-, you can still get at the LaTeX files by
using
. mkdir sjlatex
. cd sjlatex
. net from http://www.stata-journal.com/production
. net get sjlatex
or pointing your browser to
