The flippant stock reply is "look
in the bit bucket". That may or may not amuse -- see

Three more positive takes on this:
1. This problem is equivalent to sampling
322 observations out of 372.
2. If you are now going to say that you want both
sampled and unsampled, then check out say
-swor- (use -search-).
3. The FAQ at
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/sampling.html
gives a fuller disussion.
