Re: st: Stata v.8 hangs during update

Hi,
I think, Mike wants to -update- his Stata 8.0 to Stata 8.2
I did experience the same as Mike does some time earlier this year. I 
was, however, able to update Stata anyway by using the "manual" approach.
That is pretty easy to do and 
http://www.stata.com/support/updates/stata8.html explains all the steps 
to be taken.
Best,
