st: New version of -tmap- and new package -mif2dta- available from SSC

[Maurizio Pisati <maurizio.pisati@galactica.it>]

Dear Statalisters,
thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of -tmap- and a new package -mif2dta- (to 
be used with -tmap-) are now available from the SSC Archive:
1) -tmap- is a package for carrying out simple thematic mapping, first 
published in The Stata Journal 4(4):361-378. This new release should be 
considered as a beta version: comments and problem reports to the author 
are welcome. After the final revision, the resulting version will be 
submitted for publication to The Stata Journal.
2) -mif2dta- is a program that converts MapInfo Interchange Format boundary 
files into Stata boundary files to be used with the latest release of -tmap-.
Best wishes,
Maurizio Pisati
