Re: st: Logistic using aweigths

[Nick Winter <nw53@cornell.edu>]

Better yet, run -logit- with the "or" option.

The odd thing is, -logistic- calls -logit- to do 
the actual estimation, and the documentation for 
-logit- suggests that it does not accept aweights, although it does, in fact.

So it seems like either they both should, or neither should accept aweights.
