Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -dologx- package is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or the -adoupdate- command if you already have an old version.
The -dologx- command is described as below on my website. The new version has been updated to Stata Version 11, complete with a Stata Version 11 online help file with references to the .pdf manuals. Stata 11 developers can therefore certify that a program works under Stata 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and/or 11. Stata developers using Stata 8, 9 or 10 can still download the appropriate version of -dologx- from my website by typing, in Stata,
net from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/
and selecting the version required.
Best wishes

package dologx from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata11

TITLE
dologx: Multiple versions of dolog for executing certification scripts
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
dologx (like dolog) causes Stata to execute the commands stored in a do-file
named filename.do as if they were entered from the keyboard, and echos the
commands as it executes them, creating a log file filename.log. The dologx
package contains multiple versions of dolog, written in multiple Stata
versions, intended for use when running certification scripts. Usually, a
do-file should contain a version statement at or near the top, so it will
still run in the Stata version in which it was written, even if the user runs
it under a later version of Stata. Certification scripts are an exception to
this rule, because they are run under multiple Stata versions, to certify
that the package being tested works under all of these versions. A
certification script therefore should not contain a version statement at the
top. The version of Stata under which it run will therefore be the version in
force in the program that calls it, even if that program is dolog. The
standard version of dolog should therefore not be used to run a certification
script, and the user should use the dologx package instead, using dolog6 to
run it under Stata 6, dolog7 to run it under Stata 7, and so on.
