Re: st: areg not supported in ver 8.2?

["Tim R. Sass" <tsass@coss.fsu.edu>]

I have tried adding the line

.version 8.0

to my .do file, but areg still gives me the error message

version 8.2 not supported

The .do file (see below) runs fine (including xtreg) until it gets to the 
areg  command then it give me the "version 8.2 not supported" message.  I 
have also tried running areg from the command window and get the same 
result.  As I mentioned in my first posting, I ran the same .do file a 
couple of months ago without any problem.  Any ideas?
