        notice.  It does mean, however, that if you use Stat/Transfer,
        you will want to upgrade to Stat/Transfer 9 [sic].  Yes, it's
        confusing:  Stat/Transfer 9 goes with Stata 10.
Congratulations on the new release. Somebody suggested once that it would be nice if the last version of an old Stata included the ability to read files from the new version. I think that would be a very nice feature, as it takes a while to get everyone converted to the latest version.
