Re: st: Checking that -adoupdate- is OK

This is precisely the problem: there is no package called -clarify- to
uninstall. Its component routines (-estsimp-, -setx- and -simqi-) were
downloaded to their respective a-z folders in C:/ado/plus (where they
ought to be), so it should be a routine thing to simply
. ado uninstall clarify.pkg
or
. ado uninstall estsimp
but every time, it returns
package not found
r(111);
I don't know how you installed it initially. But, Gary King's
software page is at
http://gking.harvard.edu/stats.shtml
He says you can either type "net from
http://gking.harvard.edu/clarify" at the Stata command line or
download it as a zip archive. Perhaps you did the latter. I would
try installing it myself but now you've got me worried that I
wouldn't be able to uninstall it. :)
Incidentally, I've found that if you want to share your programs with
others, and you don't want to go through ssc, it is worthwhile to set
things up so people can use the "net from" command. It is sort of
amazing how otherwise intelligent people can screw things up when you
just send them the program, or else run into hassles like Clive
is. Setting up your own site can be good for beta software (which is
what I do), software for students, or if you just want to have
complete control and not go through ssc.
