st: Re: m4_solvers in stata 8.2

m4_solvers describes Mata functions.  Mata was introduced in Stata 9.0, so 
you are out of luck.  Since it is linear, can't you formulate your 
data/problem so that you can just use regress?   The standard errors will be 
missing, but as long as you can arrange your equations so that you have 
variance in your "dependent" variable, it may work.
