st: RE: outreg2 + anova = error

["roy wada" <roywada@hotmail.com>]

This is the first time I ever dealt with anova in Stata. Here is the rest of 
the story:

When I wrote -outreg2-,  I apparently used an "older" version of -outreg- 
from Stata's STB website.
*! version 3.0.6  27nov00

The "newer" version of outreg from SSC has this error fixed.
*! version 3.1.7  13may02

Someone once told me that the two copies are equivalent. They are not. I 
should have checked the dates before doing the transplant. You can fix it in 
outreg2 by replacing "nolabel" with "nocons" in the .ado file. It should 
have looked like this:


> 		 local cons "nocons"
Makes sense?

I will ask Kit to post a fix.
