st: Stata 10 downgrades of bmjcip, chardef, listtab, rtfutil and sdecode

I have just added to my website some Stata Version 10 downgrades of my
Stata Version 11 packages -bmjcip-, -chardef-, -listtab-, -rtfutil- and
-sdecode-, described as below on my website. All of these packages can
already be downloaded by Stata Version 11 users from SSC in their Stata
Version 11 versions by using the -ssc- commands. The Stata Version 10
downgrades can be downloaded from my website from within Stata by typing
net from "http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata10/";
and selecting the package(s) required. The Stata Version 11 versions of
these packages are the standard versions available for download from
SSC, and also from my website by typing, in Stata,
net from "http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata11/";
but they do not use any special Stata Version 11 capabilities, so I have
written the Stata Version 10 downgrades for Stata 10 users who might
like to use them.
I would like to thank Patrick Musonda of the University of East Anglia,
UK, and John LeBlanc at Dalhousie University, Canada, for suggesting
that these Stata Version 10 downgrades might be a good idea.
Best wishes
Roger

package bmjcip from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
bmjcip: Format confidence intervals and P-values for medical journals
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
bmjcip reformats a list of numeric variables, containing estimates
and/or confidence limits and/or P-values, to string variables,
containing the same values formatted for presentation in medical
journals. The new string variables replace the old numeric
variables, and have the same names, variable labels, variable
characteristics, and positions in the dataset. bmjcip is usually
used in output datasets (or resultssets) produced by the parmest
package, and the reformatted string variables are usually later
output using the listtab package, for input to Microsoft Word or
other word processors. It requires the sdecode package in order to
work. The sdecode, parmest and listtab packages can all be
downloaded from SSC.

package chardef from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata10
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
chardef: Assign values to a characteristic of a list of variables
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
chardef is a mass-production version of the char define
command. It assigns a list of values to a named
characteristic of a list of variables specified by a varlist.
If the varlist is not supplied, then chardef assigns the
values to the named characteristic for all variables in the
dataset currently in the memory. If the named characteristic
is not supplied, then the values are assigned to the
characteristic varname, used by the list command. If the list
of values is shorter than the varlist, then the list of values
is extended on the right with copies of the last value.
Optionally, a prefix and/or a suffix may be added to the
values. The charundef module resets a list of characteristics
to empty strings for a list of variables.

package listtab from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata10
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
listtab: List variables as rows of a TeX, HTML or word processor
table
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
listtab outputs a list of variables to the Stata log or to a file
as TeX,
HTML or word processor table rows, which can then be inserted
into a TeX,
HTML or word processor table by cutting and pasting and/or file
linking
and/or embedding (eg using the TeX \input command). listtab
produces the
table rows, but may also produce a set of header lines before the
table
rows and/or footer lines after the table rows, containing
preambles and/or
table definitions and/or table headers and/or table footers, as
specified
by the user.

package rtfutil from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata10
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
rtfutil: Utilities for writing Rich Text Format (RTF) files
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
The rtfutil package is a suite of file handling utilities for
producing Rich Text Format (RTF) files in Stata, possibly
containing plots and tables. These RTF files can then be
opened by Microsoft Word, and possibly by alternative free
word processors. The plots can be included by inserting, as
linked objects, graphics files that might be produced by the
graph export command in Stata. The tables can be included by
using the listtab command, downloadable from SSC, with the
handle() option.

package sdecode from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata10
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TITLE
sdecode: Decode a numeric variable to string, formatting
unlabelled values
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
sdecode is an extended version of decode. It takes, as input, a
numeric
variable, and generates, as output, a string variable, with values
corresponding to value labels of the numeric variable for
labelled values,
and (optionally) formatted values of the numeric variable for
unlabelled
values. The output string values therefore appear as the numeric
input
values appear in output from the tabulate command. The output string
variable may replace the input numeric variable or be generated
as a new
variable.
