I certainly would appreciate the routine. Thanks.

Paul,
If you are looking for an alternative to Fisher's test:
I recently wrote a routine for Boschloo's test, which is an
unconditional test and uniformely more powerful than Fisher's. I can
send it to you if you want.
However, both commands have the syntax
<command name> var1 var2 [if] [in] [,....]
Though I can't see why you would want to insist on the form
<command name> var1 , by(var2)
since the data structure has to be the same for both (two dummy
variables, var1 and var2). Note that both the built-in -tabulate ..,
exact- and my own -boschloo- command come with immediate versions,
where you can provide the cells of the contingency table on the
command line and don't need any data in memory at all.
HTH,
Eva
