This command was published in the STB in 1994. The help
file contains a typo: the closing "]" was omitted by
accident. The "[ ]" indicate genuinely optional options and
are not to be typed literally.
This contribution only appears if you type -search, historical-
but then without comment. That usually means that the contribution
may be rendered awkward or impossible to use given subsequent
changes in Stata, so deeper problems may yet lurk. In fact one
of your error messages below indicates one such.
On looking at the file I see no -version- statement. Inserting
a line
version 2.1
below the "program define" is one possible remedy, but I've not
tried it and make no promises.
