A more sensible approach would be to upgrade your Stata licence and
take advantage of all the new features. However, if you do not wish
to do so then I would recommend doing the following instead...
2) copy c:\ado\plus\x\xtfmb.ado c:\ado\personal\my_xtfmb.ado
3) doedit c:\ado\personal\my_xtfmb.ado
4) Modify the version line to suit your version., save the changes.
5) Now call -my_xtfmb- instead of -xtfmb-
This avoids copying over the original and the need to download and
replace. If you run into troubles running -my_xtfmb- then modify that
and not the original.
