I have a copy of -kpss- installed from a previous update:

. which kpss
/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/k/kpss.ado
*! version 1.2.0     0A03     C F Baum       (STB-58: sts15.1)

According to the Finder, this .ado file was installed on May 1, 2006,  
which is earlier than the latest release announced above.  However, - 
adoupdate- reported:

 [3] sts15_1 at http://www.stata.com/stb/stb58:
        installed package is up to date

and did not update the file.  -findit kpss- gives several links,  
notably one for "sts15_1 from http://www.stata.com/stb/stb58"; and one  
for "kpss from http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/k";.  Trying to  
install from the latter location yielded an r(602) error, as the  
files already existed.  Forcing an installation from this location  
finally yielded the above-announced update to -kpss-:

. which kpss
/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/k/kpss.ado
*! version 1.2.2     25jun2006     C F Baum

	Is this how -adoupdate- is supposed to work?
