In trying to convert a Stata 12 data set to excel using

Does anyone (e.g., Steve Dubnoff) know what plans there are for
updating StatTransfer?
First, you shouldn't transfer Stata data to Excel. It is an insult to
Stata. ;-) But if you must, I just tried Stat Transfer 11 and it works fine.
Incidentally, I just realized that Stata 12 dta files can't be read
by Stata 11. If you share files with other people you may want to get
in the habit of saving in an older format. Most of my
poverty-stricken graduate students are going to be working with Stata
11 so I don't want to zap their ability to work through my handouts
and assignments.
