Thanks Steve and thank you for clarifying the correct spelling. I
would have used STATA going along with the rest of the programs

You are welcome, Sripal. The FAQ state that "Stata is an invented  
word." Obviously,  the "Stat" part is from "statistics".   Mathematica  
and Statistica come to mind as programs with similarly invented names.
