Re: st: Installing ado files

[Buzz Burhans <wsb2@cornell.edu>]

While I believe the ado files will run from there,  the 
"C:\STATA8\ado\base/" folder is where the native Stata ado files are 
located and not where I would put additional ado files.  If, from the 
command line, you type:

adopath

You will get a list of where Stata looks for your adofiles. In my case it 
reveals the following paths:

. adopath
  [1]  (UPDATES)   "C:\STATA8\ado\updates/"
  [2]  (BASE)      "C:\STATA8\ado\base/"
  [3]  (SITE)      "C:\STATA8\ado\site/"
  [4]              "."
  [5]  (PERSONAL)  "c:\ado\personal/"
  [6]  (PLUS)      "c:\ado\stbplus/"
  [7]  (OLDPLACE)  "c:\ado/"

My downloaded ado files are installed into c:\ado\stbplus\
Note that this directory is not on the same path as STATA8, it is off of C:\ado

Below each of these folders are additional folders named  by a letter, the 
ado files go in a folder that has the name of the first letter of the name 
of the ado file.

I think Dimitriy's suggestion will work, but it might be better to keep the 
added ado files separately from the base files.
