Can you describe the problem in more detail? What operating system
you are using? What you did that didn't work? It's hard to tell
what's gone wrong from what you've described. For example, if you
follow step 3

> 3-copy wstata.exe to wstata.old

then of course "wstata.old" exists because you just created it. Or
are you unable to copy it in the first place?

Dear Schaffer,
Thanks for the reply.
In relation to the problem of updating the executable here is some further information.
I am using Stata7 with window XP home edition. I have problem copying wstata.exe to the wstata.old,
and that is because it seems impossible to create wstata.old. Also it I failed to copy stata.bin to wstata.exe even when I decided
to ignore step 3. I tried to move file, copy, rename and all that but in vail. Is there something I am missing?
Warm regards
Adolf
