Re: st: gmm with two equations and one parameter

[Richard Williams <richardwilliams.ndu@gmail.com>]

I know nothing about the question, but I will repeat the often-noted 
point that attachments are considered the work of Satan on Statalist, 
as the list isn't equipped to handle them and they often come across 
as garbled. If most of Europe wasn't asleep right now five other 
people would have already made this point. You could just copy the 
text of your programs into your message or put your files on the web 
and provide a link.

As a sidelight, I would encourage everyone who wants to share files 
(and everyone else in the world too for that matter) to create a 
dropbox account. You get at least 2 GB of free online storage and can 
put things in a public folder that you can provide a URL for. It is 
also great if you work on multiple machines, e.g. a laptop and a 
desktop. You can either go to www.dropbox.com or better yet use this 
link http://db.tt/H8tHl0S which should get you a little added 
storage. If you have a .edu email account use it as you get more 
bonus storage that way. I just started using dropbox a few months ago 
and I am probably going to require it for students in my stats 
classes in the future so we can easily share files.
