Re: st: Stata mapping: possibilities of dta2shp?

Yes there is a way of performing this task, though it is not specific 
to Stata.
Transfer your dataset to a csv file.  Then look for an open source 
stand-alone program called CSVtoSHP which will perform the 
transformation.  This program is also available as a plug-in to the 
MapWindow GIS program - also open source.  In MapWindow you need to 
ensure that the CSV to Shapefile Converter under the Plug-ins menu is 
active.  Then you will find the plugin available for use under the 
Converters menu.

Subject: st: Stata mapping: possibilities of dta2shp?

Dear Statalist,

Long time ago I've converted my country shapefile into Stata format.
I've kept these Stata format boundary files updated with municipality
mergers and other changes that have been going on.
However, now I need an up to date shapefile - is there a way to convert
my Stata files into shp format?

Best wishes,
Taavi
