Re: st: Followup: inverting a stored table of regression results - then exporting to a cvs/excel file

Thanks, Nick.  Usually when I try to check whether a package I'm using is something I downloaded from SSC or not, I (lazily) just type -ssc d foo- or -ssc install foo- and as long as it doesn't give me the error:

ssc install: "foo" not found at SSC, type -findit foo-
(To find all packages at SSC that start with t, type -ssc describe t-)
r(601); 

I assume it's from the SSC.  
I didn't get this error when I checked -stack- (apparently, because there is a page for it (http://ideas.repec.org/c/boc/bocode/s320501.html)), but I need to look closer in the future.

- Eric
