st: New package -use10save9- available on SSC

[Lars Ängquist <lars.angquist@telia.com>]

Dear Statalist.

Many thanks to Kit Baum who recently (2011-10-29) made the -use10save9-
package available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to
do this directly, or go somewhat more indirectly through usage of
the -findit- command.

Brief abstract:

use10save9 - is a program that helps out with opening Stata 10+ files from 
within Stata 9 and then saving them in Stata 9 format using the 
user-written -use10- (Radyakin, 2008) and -save9- (Ercolani, 2011) 
functions. May be applied to a quite generally defined/matched set of Stata 
datasets within a defined folder and, if selected, also with respect to all 
corresponding subfolders. The simplest syntax is purely based on defaults. 
All options are optional.
  An alternative, secondary, usage might be to simply use the function as 
an extension to -save9- in order to save matched sets of datasets in Stata 9 
format while being in Stata 10+.
