Re: st: Missing values in two-way tables

[Philip Ryan <philip.ryan@adelaide.edu.au>]

I recently wrote a program called -tab3way- that specialises in the 
tabulation of frequencies and percentages (for 3 way tables only), to which 
-table- is not suited.  This is on the SSC site.

I have also written a companion called (wait for it...) -tab2way- that does 
the same for two-way tables.  Really, the only reason I wrote it was to get 
the flexibility that the stubwidth() and cellwidth() options give with 
-table-.  I did not think there was any other use, since -tabulate- does a 
perfectly good job with cell, row and column percentages.

Anyway I will send -tab2way- to Friedrich privately (and also post to Kit 
for uploading onto the SCC site).  The -usemiss- option on this command 
should provide what Friedrich wants.
