Follow the links and instructions to update the executable and ado-files.
The recommended way of installing user-written ado-files is via one of -net from-, or -ssc- (although you can use -findit- as a roundabout way of finding the package you are after).
You have email access so I would recommend that you attach the computer to the internet connection and then...
. ssc install psmatch2
However, if for whatever reason you can not physically connect the computer to the internet you could try saving the files directly from...

If your using a *NIX variant then in all likelihood you should place the files in...
~/ado/stbplus/p/
If you are using windows then you will probably want to place them in...
c:\ado\stbplus\p\
