st: New version of -stcmd- on SSC

["Newson, Roger B" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -stcmd- package is now
available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do
this.

The -stcmd- package is described as below on my website. The new version
updates the online help to describe thw new role of the /v switch in
Version 9 of Stat/Transfer, which formerly specified "verbose output"
but now specifies "version control". This change in Stat/Transfer was
announced on Statalist by Steve Dubnoff last week.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      stcmd: Run the Stat/Transfer st command from inside Stata

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      The program stcmd runs the Stat/Transfer st command from inside
Stata, if
      Stat/Transfer is installed on the user's system. Stat/Transfer
converts
      data sets from one format to another (eg Stata to/from R). It is
      available from Stata Corporation and manufactured by Circle
Systems, and
      further information can be found at http://www.stattransfer.com/.
The
      program inputst converts an existing non-Stata input file into a
Stata
      dataset in the memory, overwriting any existing data. The program
outputst
      converts the Stata dataset in the memory to a newly-created
non-Stata
      output file. The programs inputst and outputst require stcmd, and
therefore
      should not be downloaded alone. If the Stat/Transfer directory on
the
      user's system is not on the user's default path, then the user
must set
      the global macro StatTransfer_path to contain the path for the
Stat/Transfer
      st command, possibly in the profile.do file (see on-line help for
details).
