st: New package -tfinsert- on SSC

["Roger B. Newson" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Thanks once again to Kit Baum, a new package -tfinsert- is now available 
for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this.

The -tfinsert- package is described as below on my website. It allows 
the user to input text, from an existing text file and/or from an 
instream sequence of lines in the Stata program terminated by a 
terminator string, for output into a file open for text output using the 
-file- command. This can be useful if the user is building a TeX, HTML 
or XML file using a Stata do-file.

I would like once again to thank Alan Riley, Kerry Kammire and Karen 
Hickson of StataCorp for very helpfully explaining to me about how to 
use the unpublicized -_request2(macroname)- option of the -display- 
command, which made the instream capability of -tfinsert- possible.

Best wishes

Roger
