Aaron <[email protected]> is having problems with -adoupdate-:

Aaron needs to go to Stata Technical Support, but I can provide some clues, 
and some advice on what Technical Support is going to need.  The real 
key was the part of the output that reads 

>    [1] at :

It should have read something like 

     [1] kdens2 at http://fmwww.bc.edu/repect/bocode/k:

and based on that, what I now know is that the first thing Aaron has installed
"", which he obtained from "".  -adoupdate-, using this information, assembled
the full filename "", which it tried to open, and _fopen() finally complained
about in invalid filename.

The question is, how did Aaron install "" from ""?  

Technical support is going to want the see the output from -ado dir-.
Probably, the solution will be to -ado uninstall [1]-, but before Aaron 
does that, somebody here really should see the -ado dir- output to 
make sure (1) -ado uninstall [1]- will not uninstall anything Aaron might 
want, and (2), -ado uninstall [1]- will not make the problem worse.
