Re: st: RE: catzero

[Margaret MacDougall <Margaret.MacDougall@ed.ac.uk>]

Dear Nick

This is a courtesy message to say thanks for replying to my original 
message below and that I had made some further headway on discovering 
that the hard copy documentation I had on my shelf for Stata Version 9.0 
is outdated in relation to how to use the mfp command. I have since 
opted to stick to the pdf documentation provided with Version 12.0.

Best wishes

Margaret
