Understood. In this case, you are not
seeing -intercooled- as an option because
your Stata is not up-to-date. The
help file for -saveold- on my system
was last revised on 20 August 2003.
Having the manual would not help here
as the -intercooled- option is not
documented under [R] save.
Morals:
1 Nobody's perfect. Stata Corp's
extra option -intercooled- was not,
it seems, documented until August.
(I don't know when it was added.)
2 -update-. Stata Corp try to fix
such things, but you need to -update-
to benefit.
