st: New version of -rtfutil- (again) on SSC

["Roger B. Newson" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Thanks once again to Kit Baum, a new version of the -rtfutil- package 
(superseding last week's version) is now available for download from 
SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or -adoupdate- if you 
already have an old version of -rtfutil-.

The -rtfutil- package is described as below on my website. The new 
version adds a new value -template(fnmono2)- for the -template()- option 
of -rtfopen-. This specifies a monochrome, language-neutral RTF 
document, with a header of the form

FILE_NAME, # CURRENT_PAGE_NUMBER / NUMBER_OF_PAGES

This new -template()- option uses some proprietary Microsoft RTF to 
specify the NUMBER_OF_PAGES. RTF files produced using 
-template(fnmono2)- may therefore possibly not be portable to 
RTF-compatible word processors other than Microsoft Word. However, they 
will be useful to users (like my immediate superiors) who prefer their 
documents to be Microsoft and also frequently print them out, exposing 
themselves to the risk of scattering pages over the floor and/or losing 
some of them.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      rtfutil: Utilities for writing Rich Text Format (RTF) files

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      The rtfutil package is a suite of file handling utilities for
      producing Rich Text Format (RTF) files in Stata, possibly
      containing plots and tables.  These RTF files can then be
      opened by Microsoft Word, and possibly by alternative free
      word processors.  The plots can be included by inserting, as
      linked objects, graphics files that might be produced by the
      graph export command in Stata.  The tables can be included by
      using the listtab command, downloadable from SSC, with the
      handle() option.
