This looks great. The weak instruments stuff should be useful to me, and 
i'll have to try CUE too. Many thanks to all three authors. Haven't 
finished reading the help file yet (!) but got as far as the summary of the

However although I've downloaded the package with no problem i can't seem 
to download the certification script:

Thanks,
