st: How do I simulate survival data?

I'm trying to simluate survival data for illustrative purposes. I've
never done this in Stata, so I'm not sure how I should proceed.
The aim is to produce a Kaplan-Meier graph of a ficticious time to
event process stratified by a binary variable. I would like the two
lines to overlap until half time, and then starts diverging from one
another. I also would like enough data to make the stair steps not too
tall.
I know how to generate the random time. But how do I generate the
event and the binary variable so that it meets my conditions?
Thanks.
