Of course.


As far as I could make out, there are at least two authors for the  
user-written commands I cited. Ben Jann is the author of -estout- and the  
related -esttab- and -estpost- while Ian Watson is the author of -tabout-.  
Below I provide a summary of the information I could gather, in no  
particular order.




-tabout-

Author: Ian Watson

Brief description:

tabout is a table building program for oneway and twoway tables of  
frequencies and percentages, and for summary tables.

-estout-

Author: Ben Jann

Brief description:

The estout package provides tools for making regression tables in Stata

References:

Stata Journal 5(3): 288-308.

-esttab-

Author: Ben Jann

Brief description:

Reference:

-estpost-

Author: Ben Jann

Brief description:

esttab and estout tabulate the e()-returns of a command, but not all  
commands return their results in e(). estpost is a tool make results from  
some of the most popular of these non-"e-class" commands available for  
tabulation. It collects results and posts them in an appropriate form in  
e().

Quoting from Ben Jann:

"estout owes much to John Luke Gallup's outreg and official Stata's  
estimates. Furthermore, the idea to provide the adaptive display format  
was motivated by Roy Wada's outreg2."

"hits," hopefully correct but copy-pasted here without guarantee.
