st: Re: unbundling gamfit.exe to c:\ado\

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

Although I believe that .EXE has sometimes been used in the DOS world  
as an alternative to .ZIP (that is, you run FOO.EXE and it unpacks  
into a bunch of other files--is that what you mean by 'unbundling'?)  
the GAM.EXE file is what it says: a DOS executable file. On my (Unix)  
system, if I compile foo.f, I will end up with an executable file,  
and mentioning its name will execute it. On DOS, you start with FOO.F  
(or FOO.C) and you end up with FOO.EXE. At that point the FOO command  
should work. So don't try "unbundling" the executable image; you  
can't. You just want to have it located so the -gam- command will be  
able to run it from within Stata.
