st: Ztesti, Ztest2i, other Stataquest features now missing

[Richard Williams <Richard.A.Williams.5@nd.edu>]

Hello.  This question will betray the fact that I am not a Stata Power 
User!  But I have tried searching the FAQs and not found an answer, so any 
help would be appreciated.

I have been using Stata 7 with the Stataquest menu addons.  The other day I 
used Stata 8 for the first time.  The new menu structure is good, but seems 
to be missing some of the functionality that the Stataquest addons had.

* The Ztesti and the Ztest2i functions (referred to on the menus as 1 
sample normal test and 2 sample normal test) did not work on the Stata 8 
machine I was using.  These involve esoteric hypothesis testing cases where 
the population variance is somehow known.  Granted, these are not real 
common situations, but I find them useful for teaching purposes.  It looks 
like some other functions may be missing from the menus as well.

* I liked the way the calculator menu was separate from the statistics menu 
in Stata 7 with Stataquest added on.  Is there a way to rework the menus in 
v. 8?  Stata isn't my primary statistical package but I find it extremely 
helpful as a statistical calculator, at least when I can find what I want.

In short, I'd like to make Stata 8 regain some of the features that Stata 7 
with Stataquest had.  Is there a way to do it?  Or can I at least request 
it? Thanks.  RW
