[Roy Wada <roywada@hotmail.com>]

Thanks to Kit Baum of Boston College, -dataout- is now available from SSC.
 
-dataout- can be used to import text files and export them into Latex, Excel, or
Word compatible files. Yes, you can use it convert the files created by the 
original -outreg- as well.
 
The program will do the same thing for the current dataset in memory. It will 
work with -collapse- and the such. Stata version 7 or better is required.
 
* exporting dataset in memory
sysuse auto, clear
collapse (mean) mpg headroom price weight, by(turn)
replace mpg=round(mpg,1)
dataout, save(myfile) word tex excel replace
 
* exporting any tab-delimited text file
