It's exactly what you thought the problem would be! Thank you so much,
BIll. In case others come across the same kind of problem, here is
what I did following Bill's advice:
. ado dir
[1] package ^ from
s http://www.stata.com/stb/stb61 n sg164.pkg d 29 nov 2004 u 1 d stb
[2] .......
Now that I know it's the first package that's probably causing the problem, I
. ado uninstall [1]
. adoupdate
. adoupdate, update
...and the job is done.
