-swboot- was written by Joanne Garrett.
My guess is that the temporary file created by
Stata has a space embedded within the complete file
path; and this arises under some flavo[u]r of Windows;
and that this is being misunderstood.
Try editing references to `tempds' in a copy of
-swboot.ado- as follows:
line 68
is now
quietly save `tempds', replace
should be
quietly save `"`tempds'"', replace
line 177
is now
quietly use `tempds', clear
should be
quietly use `"`tempds'"', clear
Save this file as, say, -swbooth.ado-, making
sure that it starts
program define swbooth
then
. discard
and try again with -swbooth-.
