I'd imagine that you could adapt (or even adopt) -nruns- to your
purpose.
SJ-6-4 st0044_1 . . . . . . . . . . . . Software update for nruns and
nrunsi
(help nruns, nrunsi if installed) . . . . . . N. Smeeton and N.
J. Cox
Q4/06 SJ 6(4):597
introduces commands nruns and nrunsi for analyzing
sequences stored in a variable or supplied on the fly
SJ-3-3 st0044 Do-it-yourself shuffling & the number of runs under
randomness
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . N. Smeeton and N.
J. Cox
Q3/03 SJ 3(3):270--277 (no
commands)
explains estimation of the probability of an event under
randomness; illustrates a simple method of random shuffling;
and shows derivation of conditional probability distribution
of the number of runs

Thanks, but Nope -- this is a one-sample test such as one might use for
residuals -- it compares runs against some threshhold -- the W-W test is
a two sample test
