I tried -ssc install wdireshape- and I got this:
. ssc install wdireshape
checking wdireshape consistency and verifying not already installed...
file http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/w/wdireshape.ado not found
could not copy http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/w/wdireshape.ado
(no action taken)
ssc install: apparent error in package file for wdireshape; please notify
[email protected], providing package name
r(601);
Any idea what's wrong?
