Thanks to Kit Baum, new versions of the -dolog- and -dologx- packages
are now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command
to do this.

The -dolog- and -dologx- packages are described as below on my website,
and allow the user to execute a do-file, automatically creating a
corresponding log file. The new versions are upgraded to Stata 10.
However, the Stata 9 and 8 versions of -dologx-, and the Stata 9, 8, 7
and 6 versions of -dolog-, are still available for download from my
website by typing, in Stata,

net from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/

I would like to thank Kit Baum for drawing my attention to the new
.sthlp file extension for Stata 10 on-line help files, as well as for
uploading these 2 packages and for running SSC.

Best wishes

Roger

package dolog from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata10
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

TITLE
      dolog: Execute commands from a file, creating a log file

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      dolog (like do) causes Stata to execute the commands stored in
filename
      just as if they were entered from the keyboard, and echos the
commands as it
      executes them, creating a log file filename.log.  If filename is
specified
      without an extension, filename.do is assumed. If filename is
specified with
      an extension, then the log file will have .log as an additional
extension
      (so dolog will not overwrite the original do-file). Arguments are
allowed
      (as with do), but the nostop option is not available.

package dologx from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata10
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

TITLE
      dologx: Multiple versions of dolog for executing certification
scripts

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      dologx (like dolog) causes Stata to execute the commands stored in
a do-file
      named filename.do as if they were entered from the keyboard, and
echos the
      commands as it executes them, creating a log file filename.log.
The dologx
      package contains multiple versions of dolog, written in multiple
Stata
      versions, intended for use when running certification scripts.
Usually, a
      do-file should contain a version statement at or near the top, so
it will
      still run in the Stata version in which it was written, even if
the user runs
      it under a later version of Stata. Certification scripts are an
exception to
      this rule, because they are run under multiple Stata versions, to
certify
      that the package being tested works under all of these versions. A
      certification script therefore should not contain a version
statement at the
      top. The version of Stata under which it run will therefore be the
version in
      force in the program that calls it, even if that program is dolog.
The
      standard version of dolog should therefore not be used to run a
certification
      script, and the user should use the dologx package instead, using
dolog6 to
      run it under Stata 6, dolog7 to run it under Stata 7, and so on.
