Roger Newson is really good about keeping old versions of his 
programs available. Note that -parmby- is part of his -parmest- 
package. Quoting from a post of his from Aug 11, 2009,

-----------------------------------------

Users of Stata versions 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 and 5 can still download the 
versions of -parmest- for their Stata versions from my website by 
typing, in Stata,

net from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/

and selecting the -parmest- package written in the appropriate 
version of Stata.

-----------------------------------------

Incidentally, I often just copy c:\ado from one machine to another. I 
think that doesn't work correctly if some programs have Mata 
libraries, but otherwise it seems ok. You might also have problems 
if, say, profile.do is customized differently on your different machines.
