Hi all!

Another question regarding estout, esta etc.: As I just tried to switch fro=
m "estout" to the new "esta", I encountered a problem with math expressions=
  of independent variables using "esta". For instance, one of my primary imp=
acts is labelled "\$N_{v}\$". Unfortunately, "esta" seems to place a "\" in=
  front of any "_" so that my indices do not appear in the right form. Of co=
urse, I see that this is a good idea to prevent something like "_cons" from=
  causing any trouble in a raw table, I wonder if there is some way to work =
around this.

Best,

Guido

Thanks to Kit Baum, an update to the -estout- package is available
from the SSC Archive.

The most important change is that the -estout- package now subsumes
the packages previously circulated as -esta-, -estadd-, and -esto-.

I suggest you first type

   . ssc uninstall esto
   . ssc uninstall esta
   . ssc uninstall estadd

to uninstall the discontinued packages (the above commands may return
error if there are multiple instances of the packages installed; use
-adoupdate- in this case to clean-up the list of installed packages),
and then type

   . ssc install estout, replace

or use -adoupdate- to install the new version.

Other important changes:

- The shorthand conventions for -estout- options such as keep() and
drop() have changed. You may now use the * and ? wildcards with both
equation names and parameter names. However, support for simple
abbreviation (without wildcards) is discontinued.

- The -csv- document format in -esta- now uses a comma as the column
delimiter. In turn, there is a new semicolumn-delimited format called
-scsv-. Use -scsv- with, for example, the German version of Excel.

- The -rtf- document format has been much improoved and it should now
work with about any RTF reader.

A new paper on -estout- is available from my website:
