Alfonso seems to have an older version of the Stata Journal LaTeX files but is
using the current release of MiKTeX. The current version of -sjlatex- is
. which sjlatex
/home/jsp/ado/plus/s/sjlatex.ado
*! version 1.2.0 12nov2003
If Alfonso has an older version, he should first get the current version of
-sjlatex-.
. ado uninstall sjlatex
. net from http://www.stata-journal.com/production
. net install sjlatex
Then he can get the current release of the Stata Journal LaTeX files
. sjlatex install using myarticle
and move the rest of his article files into the new directory 'myarticle' (on
a Windows machine the above command will most likely put the files in
c:\DATA\myarticle\ unless Alfonso has changed Stata's working directory using
-cd-).
