st: New version of -mif2dta- available from SSC

[Maurizio Pisati <maurizio.pisati@unimib.it>]

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of -mif2dta- is now available from 
the SSC Archive.
-mif2dta- converts MapInfo Interchange Format files (aka MIF files) 
to Stata datasets usable by -spmap-, a user-written Stata program 
(available from the SSC Archive) aimed at visualizing spatial data.
Users of the old version of -mif2dta- should note that this version 
of the program (2.0.0) has been largely re-written and follows a 
different syntax than the old one. Therefore, if you have a lot of 
do-files using the old version of -mif2dta-, you are advised to 
rename your old copy of -mif2dta- to something else before installing 
the new version.
Best wishes,
Maurizio Pisati
