The answer's No. There is no such adjustment. 
You can find this out by looking at the code: 

. viewsource inequal.ado 

By the way, I can't see any reason for using this
ancient program unless you are using an ancient
version of Stata. 

. findit inequality 

will show later programs with a much richer 
range of facilities. If you are using an old 
version, -viewsource- won't work for you.
