st: New version of -factext- on SSC (again)

[Roger Newson <roger.newson@kcl.ac.uk>]

Dear All

Thanks to Kit Baum, another new version of the -factext- package is now 
downloadable from SSC. Type -ssc describe factext- in Web-aware Stata to 
find out more.

-factext- creates factors (categorical variables) from the -label- variable 
in a -parmest- output data set. (The -parmest- package is also downloadable 
from SSC; type -ssc describe parmest- to find out more.) The user can 
therefore create plots of confidence intervals for factor level effects 
against the corresponding factor levels. The new version fixes a 
mis-spelling of John Hendrickx's name in a reference to -desmat- in the 
.hlp file, and also saves the returned result -r(faclist)-, containing a 
list of the factors created.

Best wishes

Roger
