That is as it should be. The latest update of the -somersd- package only
updated the -cendif- module, not the -somersd- and -censlope- modules.

The -which- messages on my system for the 3 ado-files are as follows.

**** BEGINNING OF Stata OUTPUT - CUT HERE

*** END OF Stata OUTPUT - CUT HERE

So -somersd- and -censlope- are relatively stable, and -cendif- has been
changed.

I hope this reassures everybody.
It's worth pointing out that before Kit fixed things, typing -which
cendif- on my Stata 9.2 showed this:

. which cendif
c:\ado\plus\c\cendif.ado
*! Author: Roger Newson

so clearly firing -adoupdate, update- wasn't enough, which it should
have been. It makes me wonder just how many other user-written
programs also suffer this (minor) affliction.

Ironically, the problem I highlighted a few weeks ago - namely, that
of -adoupdate- showing UWPs to have been updated when in fact they
haven't - still hasn't been fixed yet (perhaps that's in the
pipeline). On my system, this affects Phil Ender's -xi3-, -mrtab- from
Ben Jann and Hilde Schaper, Zurab Sujaia and Michael Lokshin's
-xml_tab- (today's update notwithstanding) and Iain Watson's -tabout-.
Naturally, I don't implicate them (or Roger) in any way. I merely flag
this up (again!).
