I hate trying to do something like this by hand. Too much room for
error. Can't you tell whoever you work for that you can't be expected
to work under such primitive inhumane conditions and you need Stata
12?

You might check out the user-written -inteff- command and see if it
helps. -margeff- is another user-written command that has various
advantages over -mfx-.
