I am working on descriptive statistics for a paper and followed Kit's
suggestion to use statsmat instead of tabstat. I get a nice matrix and
read that I should use outtable to get it in a file.
outtable does not support tab-delimited output (which is likely to be
used in some less attractive form of word processing). However one
could readily use svmat to generate variables from the contents of the
matrix and outfile to produce such output. Alternatively, one could
produce a clone of outtable that used tab delimiters rather than
LaTeX's "&" between cells and "\\" at end of line.
