Sergiy or Kit:
I have Stata SE v 9, fully updated and Win XP SP2; I fail to install
_usespss_ from the net. Did not fiddle around with a manual install
though.
This is the story:
/**********************************************/
. ssc install usespss
checking usespss consistency and verifying not already installed...
file http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/u/usespss.forwin32 not found
could not copy http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/u/usespss.forwin32
(no action taken)
ssc install: apparent error in package file for usespss; please notify
[email protected], providing package name
r(601);
/**********************************************/
thanks,
t
