Not so.
Although it's not standard, it's nevertheless explained in the package
documentation that the command within the -fastcd- package is called
-c- and as such is implemented in an .ado file called c.ado.
Note that -help c- in Stata calls up help on -c()-, evidently grounds
enough for some complication here.
