Re: st: RE: memory limitation

deja vu,

i think this is a re-post too or re-posted by accident. i distinctly 
recalled that one of the stata guys actually replied to this post and had 
asked hugh to email to him privately regarding hugh's requirement (i.e. the 
need for gigabytes memory stata).

cheers,
bw
