This isn't quite right. Here at the office I am running Stata 7:
. update
Stata executable
folder: N:\School\stata7\
name of file: wstata.exe
currently installed: 01 Feb 2002
-findit- doesn't find it:
. findit cdsimeq

Yet because the author of the package, Omar Keshk, wrote the package for
version 7:
. which cdsimeq
d:\ado\cdsimeq.ado
*!Omar M.G. Keshk (SJ3-2: st0038)
. program list cdsimeq
cdsimeq, eclass:
1. version 7.0
my version of Stata will run it quite happily.
