st: RE: RE: Defining a matrix of Characters
Dear Nick,
Thanks for your response. I am actually putting together a short *.ado
to perform an analysis that requires that matrix of characters.
I have Stata 9.1 and I thought of using Mata but if I do that then any
user with a Stata version lower than 9.0 will not be able to run my
ado.
Am I correct in assuming that.
Thanks for your help.
Amani

Long route or short, you must use Mata
for this.
