My pc at home has Stata 7, and at the office I use Stata 8. I often forget
to specify "saveold" when moving data from the office to home. Is there any
way to tell Stata 8 to always save data sets as Stata 7 (make saveold the
default)? I know this may seem trivial, but I think it would be a useful
feature. If this is not possible, would there be disadvantages to adding such
an option?
Finally, if I have data in Stata 8 format that I need to open in Stata 7, is
there a way to do so (in an emergency:-))?
Thanks,
