Dear John,

hope this mine finds you well indeed!

Thank you for pointing us to the features of -outreg- -outreg2- and
-estout- and appreciate the usefulness of the -frmttable- command in
helping us formatting tables which are not the result of an estimation
command.

I have tried to implement your suggestion to Mark but, despite having
installed both -outreg- and -outreg2- (-estout- was already installed
on my STATA 12 MP), I am unable to access the help file for the
-frmttable- command. It seems to me that the automatic download and
install procedure does not include a help file for -frmttable- itself.

Am I missing something here?
Any comment and suggestion will be highly appreciated
Best regards
Mario
