No idea on the big question but -!- or -winexec- gives you access to operating system commands. -help shell-.

The one utility that we use can be automated through a batch file (a ".bat" Windows file). So one option would simply be to run a .bat file from Stata, then import the resulting data from Excel, which is easy with Stata 12. What I don' know is how to run a Windows .bat batch file from within a do-file? Is that possible?
