Yes, the multiple -fitstat- versions and their locations are very
confusing: -fitstat- is part of the spost9_ado package but also of the
spost8_ado (and probably in a different disguise of spost12_ado).
It seems that the most recent version is 1.8.1 (2007-09-18) but the date
of its helpfile is 03Nov2005. You need a very good workflow to keep
track of all this.
Suggestion (to whom, Kit Baum? Scott Long?): Wouldn't it be possible to
remove the -fitstat- .ado from SSC and to replace it with a description
which points to
-net describe spost9_ado, from(http://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata)-
??

Thanks for the update Kit. FYI, I notice that -fitstat- is in the top
25. People should know that the version of -fitstat- on SSC is not
the most current version (indeed, the SSC version is more than 10
years old). Long and Freese keep the most current version of
- -fitstat- (along with various other routines which have older
versions available on SSC) on Long's personal website. Do -findit
spost9- to get the most up to date version. I've seen several people
have problems because they were using old versions of Long and Freese
software. When in doubt, I usually assume SSC has the most current
version of software, but Long and Freese's routines are a noteworthy exception.
