Re: st: Two bugs with -usespss-

Dear Sergiy (and other members of Statalist who might be interested),
Talking about -usespss-, I can't install it using Stata 13, but
recently I was able to install it in an older version of Stata (i.e.
Stata 10). I wonder why this happens.
The command I used:
. ssc install usespss
The error message that I get:
nothing to install
I hope you (or other members of Statalist) can help me out with this issue.
Best regards,
Carlos
