Well, there is a list of changes in a file on my computer. It would
need some work before I could share this. However, I am preparing a
small website for estout and I somehow like the idea to include a page
containing a list of changes. The website will probably be ready in a
month or so.
Concerning @hline and style(smcl): @hline just prints a series of
"characters", as is described in -help estout- (the name is not
particularly well chosen, I have to admit; note that @hline had been
introduced before the appearance the smcl style). Whether this
actually looks like a line or not is in the hands of the user (see the
-hlinechar()- option). You are right: the correct way to do this in
smcl is to not use @hline and specify "{hline @width}" instead.

Ben: thanks yet again for the update to -estout-, which I have
found to be a nearly essential package to install. Is there a place
one can find a list of changes / revisions to the package (perhaps by
date and/or version number)?
Separately, one small "bug" (in my opinion): -style(smcl)- draws
dashed (hyphenated) lines when @hline is used, rather than the SMCL-
style lines mentioned in the help file. (The dashed lines seem
appropriate for -style(tab)- or -style(fixed)-.) I do note that the
work-around you suggested earlier on the list, to use -"{hline
@width}"-, still displays the desired SMCL-style lines. Thanks!
