Please note that with the "labjl" command

STB-59  dm84 . . . . . . . . .  labjl:  Adding numerical codes to value labels
        (help labjl if installed)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . J. M. Lauritsen
        1/01    STB Reprints Vol 10, pages 35--37
        adds or removes numerical codes to the value labels of a
        categorical variable

The same feature as announced in Stata8 can be used in Stata 6 and 7:

. tab kmgrp

  Residence |
  of runner |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
   0- 25 km |        675       18.65       18.65
   26-62 km |        911       25.17       43.81
    63 -120 |        954       26.35       70.17
    120+ km |       1080       29.83      100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
      Total |       3620      100.00

. labjl kmgrp
Numerical codes added to Label: kmlbl

* note that labels will be properly aligned:
. tab kmgrp

       Total |       3620      100.00

. labjl kmgrp, remove
Numerical codes removed from Label: kmlbl

Within a few days labjl will be removed from ssc-ideas and my own site to
diminish confusion.
