st: Updated -gzsave- and -zipsave- packages
Dear all,
The two packages -gzsave- and -zipsave- have just been updated (use -ssc
describe- for more info, -ssc install- to install). This update is
rather significant in that it is now easier to open subsets of a
compressed dataset (-zipuse- and -gzuse- now allows variable names, as
well as "if" and "in" statements by means of the alternative syntax of
"using", similar to -use varlist using filename-). Further, both
packages now include dedicated commands for appending and merging
compressed datasets, i.e. -zipappend-/-gzappend- and
-zipmerge-/-gzipmerge-, respectively. More information is available in
the help-files from which I have pasted the package descriptions below.
As always, thanks goes to Kit Baum for making the updates available at SSC.
Any comments, bug reports, etc. are most welcome.
Best,
Henrik
-GZSAVE-
