Sven Klingemann <[email protected]> want to perform a multiple comparison test
of means computed from survey data:

Richard Williams pointed out that this is allowed in Stata 10, and shows the
following example (I'll omit the output):
. webuse nhanes2f
. svy: mean health, over(race)
. test [#1]White = [#1]Black = [#1]Other, mtest(b)
The Stata 9 manuals were incorrect regarding this restriction, and this was
fixed in the Stata 10 manuals.
Sven can perform the above example using Stata 9 and get the same results as
in Stata 10.
