--------------------
As Richard Williams pointed out in an earlier response, there was a
bug in
Stata's -update- command when version 8.0 was originally released.
The bug
has subsequently been fixed but the only way to get the bug fix is to
perform an update. This is not, however, a Catch-22 situation. All
you
need to do is update your executable first. That is, type
. update executable
followed by
. update swap
You can then type
. update ado
or
. update all
to get the ado updates. After performing an update in this manner the
-update- command in all of its variations should work as advertised.
