I persume that the Clive meant that the author of -clarify- no longer
develops it, which would make sense as Gary King seems to have become
more interested in R than in Stata. That does not mean that -clarify-
is discredited, or that others stopped using it. If it will remain
popular and if there is room for improvement, someone else will
eventually create a -clarify2- or contact Gary King to get permision to
further develop -clarify-.
