Re: st: linesize with -sjlog-

[Partha Deb <partha.deb@hunter.cuny.edu>]

Nick and all,

I agree that -sjlog- was written for the Stata Journal.  But -sjlog- is 
very useful to output logs in Tex format for other purposes too - 
answers to homework assignments in my case.  I note that Ben Jann's 
-texdoc- uses it (and he reports the same linesize issue).

I've now managed to hack -sjlog.ado- in rudimentary ways to create .log 
and .smcl files with longer lines than 80.  But the .log.tex file still 
has linesize of 80 characters.  Best as I can figure, it's -log texman- 
that translates to Tex with linesize of 80, but it's completely 
undocumented.

Still stumped.
