I use Stata 9.1.  But, I looked at my old Statas, and the force 
option has been around at least since Stata 7.  It is only for the 
exe file.  The help for -update- says

"force is used with update executable to force downloading a new 
executable even if, based on the date comparison, Stata does not 
think it is necessary.  There is seldom a reason to specify this 
option.  There is no such option for update ado because, if you 
wanted to force the reinstallation of all ado-file updates, you would 
need only to erase the UPDATES directory.  You can type sysdir list 
to see where the UPDATES directory is on your computer; see sysdir."

I'm just puzzled why Stata said the executable was up to date.  Maybe 
there is a temporary glitch in the Stata servers?
