Stata is a great program, but there is a much easier way to tackle this
problem. Download the console version of Ox from Jurgen Dorrnik's web page at
http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/Users/Doornik/. Ox has a Gauss engine that will
allow you to run most Gauss code. Also take a look at "Running Gauss Programs
Under Ox3" by Philip Viton at
