st: Re: compatibility: stata for Mac and Windows

[Kit Baum <kitbaum@mac.com>]

No problem. If you mean .dta files, .dta files are readable and  
writeable by all platforms on which Stata will run. That is how you  
can do  use http://servername/datafile.dta.

If you mean .smcl logs, they are just text files, as are  
ordinary .log files.

Sometimes I have seen .ado files with the infamous DOS CR-LF, which  
make them look double spaced in any Unix flavor system if you type  
them, but Stata knows what to do with them.
