Just to add a bit to Maarten's suggestion: -suest- will let you combine
two or more "seemingly unrelated" equations so that you can test
cross-equation restrictions and the like.  But it won't do
"seemingly-unrelated estimation" a la Zellner and -sureg-, i.e., you
won't get the efficiency gains possible from estimating the equations as
a system. The coefficients reported by -suest- are just the original
ones.
