More could be done to make these presentations more user friendly when
distributing it. All I did was add a five line readme.txt file. The
easiest to implement is to use sub-directories. This would make it much
easier to navigate and add supplementary info, like a master .do file
that runs all the analyses in one go. My only defense for not doing so
is that my main aim was to explain -simulate- not to be show case for
smcl presentations.
