st: Re: RE: Finding and tagging overlapping groups

["Michael Blasnik" <michael.blasnik@verizon.net>]

I don't believe this response answers the (admittedly somewhat confusing) 
request at all, it just happens to work for the sample observations given. 
It only works if one observation is completely unique on the 2 vars and all 
others form one group with overlap.  I think the post was looking for a way 
of classifying cases into groups (most likely more than 2) if they match on 
either of two variables anywhere in the dataset.
