Re: st: Working with pgmhaz8

[melaku.fekadu@gmail.com]

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your help. I did -adopath- and found that the personal directory is c:/ado/personal. Copied the files to this directory. But I got the following error:

unrecognized command: From 
(error occurred while loading pgmhaz8.ado.ado)  
r(199);

I don't know if this is the reason but the files name were not as you mentioned. They were named as

pgmhaz8_ado.mht
pgmhaz8_||_ado.mht
pgmhaz8.hlp

I have renamed the first two as you suggested:

pgmhaz8.ado
pgmhaz8_ll.ado
pgmhaz8.hlp

and placed them at c:\ado\personal. I got the error mentioned above. Do you think the problem has to do with the rename?

I can open and see the content of the ado files after the rename. So why does it not work?

Is there any manipulation that I can do to overcome the problem? 

I have seen that these original ado files exist on the web but I can't copy them at the moment.

Thanks a lot!
Fekadu

In order to overcome the problem I have copied two files related to the programme: pgmhaz8_ado.mht and pgmhaz8_||_ado.mht and want to place them in the stata directory so that I can work with pgmhaz. My question is where should I place these files in the stata directory? Or is there any other solution to my problem? I work in an environment where a connection to the Internet is forbidden.
