Re: st: Stata versions and reproductibility problem.

[Daniel Mueller <danielix@gmx.net>]

I never encountered that and all my old do-file back to 
Stata 7 still produce identical graphs and results. That's 
puzzling, I can't help then... As a quick workaround you 
could reinstall Stata 8; there are no conflicts between the 
two and they run smoothly next to each other on the same PC.
