Thanks to Kit Baum, packages -winsor- and -dlist-
have been revised on SSC. See help on -ssc- for
details of installation.
-winsor-
========
The change entails adding some biographical information
on Charles P. Winsor, after whom the procedure was named,
to the help file. Stata 7 is required.
-dlist-
=======
The main change is the addition of a -duplist- program
to the package. This is in response to a question by
Holly Wright on 21 July answered by me on 30 July.
(I didn't do quite what Holly asked....)
Stata 8.2 is required.
The original -dlist- is a hybrid of -describe- and -list-
insofar as you can see variable labels too. Thus
. sysuse auto

. dlist in 1

You can tune the amount of space devoted to
variable names, including a special case of
omitting them altogether:
. dlist in 1, name(0)

-duplist- lists duplicates on the variables specified
just once, although observation numbers are shown.
(Possessors of very large datasets can probably break
this, but that doesn't worry me much.)

As with -dlist-, there are other options. Here is just one example.
