The underlying problem, I guess, is
several observations for several variables
and wanting to see similarities, differences,
exceptions.
A more positive suggestion is to consider
parallel coordinate plots. A Stata 8
implementation is -parplot- from SSC.
This produces a _very_ different kind of graph,
but it is aimed at the same general problem.

gr7, star
and
version 8 and 9 graphics
are completely separate, distinct, unrelated
and incompatible, and no one ever said otherwise.
The only way you will get similar graphics in Stata
8 or 9 is if someone writes it from scratch. It could be
done, but it would be a moderate project for a
competent Stata programmer.
