Kit Baum answered a virtually identical question
on Statalist on 26 July. Here is the burden of his
response, edited slightly:
It sounds as if you used a web browser to download the files.
If so, you have probably introduced some line
wrapping. As a general rule you should _always_ let Stata do this for
you to
avoid trouble.
Just use Stata's -ssc- command to download and install the commands,
and it
will take care of any line end conversions, etc. It will work with a
proxy
server if you have firewall issues. On one of my Unix machines, which
did
not have this command installed:
. ssc install ivprob-ivtobit
checking ivprob-ivtobit consistency and verifying not already
installed...
installing into /blade/baum/ado/stbplus/...
installation complete.
For more on -ssc-, please see the first URL under my signature.
