-estout- is user written, so, per the Statalist FAQ, you need to tell
where you got it from. I will assume you got it from SSC. The logic
for requiring this is that there are often multiple versions of user
written software floating around in cyberspace, and it does not help
if we are talking about different programs.

*---------- begin example -----------
// prepare example data
sysuse auto, clear
generate wgt=weight/2000
label var wgt "weigh in short tons)"

// estimate -tobit- model
tobit mpg wgt, ll(17)

// use -estout- on the variance-covariance matrix
matrix V = e(V)
esttab matrix(V)
*----------- end example ------------

Hope this helps,
