Hi Raymond,
I also discovered weird things happening when using outreg. It is no longer
supported/enhanced, and this probably causes the majority of problems. The
new -estimates- command (available in vers. 8) does pretty much the same
job, outreg did. And there is an ado called -estout- that is supposed to be
even better.
Best,
Chris
