Almost the first thing -ice- does is
local cmdline : copy local 0
but in fact that construct is not allowed in Stata 9.2. You could
upgrade to Stata 11 (I doubt that Stata will sell you a copy of Stata
10), or you could try replacing that line with
local cmdline `0'
except don't blame me or Patrick Royston if that does not work.
That is one reason I like to keep old versions of Stata around. When
making minor tweaks to a program, it is easy to zap it from working
with older versions of Stata by using some new feature (especially if
you don't even realize it is new). If you are adding major new
functionality, it may be worth it, but in cases like this you might
as well use the older code that keeps the program functional for
those not blessed with the latest version of Stata.
