Even without access to Stata 10, you can still look at the website. See
http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?mf_minindex
I don't think there is a direct equivalent in Stata 9. That's why the
function (not command) was introduced. You'd need to write your own
loop, or upgrade.

> I have a program that uses the minindex() function in mata in Stata
10. I am trying to run that same code in Stata 9 and I realize that
minindex() is one of the new commands that were not available in Stata
9. Do you guys know of another command that does something similar? I
guess I can write a small program that does what minindex does, but I
have to do this with several other commands, so I was just wondering if
there was a readily-available command that does that.
