with the advent of Stata 10, the commands <about> and <verinst>
produce the same output. Exactly the same. This does not make
sense to me.
While <about> is still documented in the reference manual,
<verisnt> is not. Nor is there an entry for <verinst> in the on-
line help.
I'm tempted to conclude that <verinst> has become an out-of-date
command. Can anyone confirm it?
You can answer your own question by using -viewsource-. Typing
. viewsource verinst.ado
will show you that verinst.ado is merely a wrapper for -about-:
*! version 1.2.0 10feb2007
program define verinst
version 10
about
