st: New mata package on SSC: -mf_realofstr-

["Jann, Ben" <ben.jann@soz.gess.ethz.ch>]

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new Mata function called
-realofstr()- is available from the SSC Archive.

-realofstr()- is the "inverse" of official Mata's 
-strofreal()-. It returns strings as numeric 
values or missing.

To install the package, type

 . ssc install mf_realofstr

After installation, type

 . help mata realofstr()

or

 . help mf_realofstr

to view the helpfile.
