Hi all,
I am trying to understand how -tabulate, summarize- works. I
understand that much of it is written in C code, but I would still
expect to find some black boxes of files that do the magic. I think I
checked all folders, incl. hidden folders within /Applications/Stata
on my mac, and even checked the package contents of
/Applications/Stata/StataMP. I found no trace of -tabulate-, or any
other plugin/DLL whatsoever. Is everything wrapped into the Unix
executable "/Applications/Stata/StataMP.app/Contents/MacOS/StataMP"?
Really?
As I only need the results of -tab, sum()-, I hope to see some code
calling -_tab.ado- or some other code to display the results. Is
everything in the compiled binary instead?
Well, something must add up those 33.9 MBs…
Thanks for any thoughts,
Laszlo
