Finally, look out for emails that start with "Thanks to Kit Baum....has
been added to the archive"...run through the mail and see if this ....
is something u could use
-ssc whatsnew- tells you what the latest additions are, and may identify
routines that authors have not bothered to write Statalist about. Of
course, for Kate, everything is new at this point, so perhaps her question
is better interpreted as what addon routines do people like and
recommend? That is a tough question to answer, as everyone has their
personal quirks and needs. So long as Kate is condemned to using Stata 7
though, it is probably just a matter of time until she comes across some
command that sounds perfect for her needs, only to find that it won't work
unless you have Stata 8.
