Re: AW: st: Spss vs Stata

[Ted Anagnoson <anag999@silcom.com>]

I just updated several chapters of a textbook, 
with explicit instructions from the publisher to 
include more graphs (for today's modern students!!! - hahaha).....
The publisher's copyright office insisted that I 
needed credits for the graphs because they looked 
so professional - all done in Stata, with a few 
adjustments in the graphics editor....
