David Kantor did hit it on the head--the size of the
weight is the problem. I have tried both Austin's and
David's suggestions, but the problem appears to be
with the -tabout- command; it appears to only accept
the strict "int" definition of frequency weights (ie,
integers less than 32740).
I will try working with -aweights-, but if anyone else
has ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
jon
