Phil, I'm not sure how -stata2doc- connects to this, but I'd be very
interested to know how you achieve this. After running results in Stata,
I've always manually created the tables and inputted the figures that go
into them in LaTeX. I can pretty much format a basic LaTeX table in my
sleep now, but constructing the entire table can be very, _very_
laborious.
Ben Jann very kindly supplied me with an -estout- trick to run a
'resultsset' to go straight into my LaTeX document sometime last year.
I've still not yet had the chance to use it (and I know there are other
routines, such as Roger Newson's -listtex-), but I'm always keen to hear
about other alternatives to perform this task. Thanks!

Whereever you go and whatever you do, just remember this. No matter how
many like you, admire you, love you or adore you, the number of people
turning up to your funeral will be largely determined by local weather
conditions.
