Hmmm, then I'm sorry I cant help. I am also on using Windows(XP) and here is my log

I tried to replicate the glm postestimation example using the 
beetle.dta closely following the code presented in the Stata9 
Reference manual A-J on page 424. I have two puzzeling observations.
1) the glm model (without the -quitely- option) prompts a warning 
message: "convergence not achieved" which does not occur when in 
addition -, irls- is specified.
2)-predict- and -mfx- yield the following error message: "Unknown 
function /()"
Anybody any ideas?
