st: New version of -stcmd- on SSC

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

Thanks as always to Kit Baum, a new version of the -stcmd- package  In 
Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or -adoupdate- if you already 
have an old version of -stcmd-.

The -stcmd- package is described as below on my website. The new version 
has been upgraded to Stata Version 13, to prevent any compatibility 
problems with Stat/Transfer Version 12 (the latest version of 
Stat.Transfer, which can read and write Stata Version 13 datasets).

Users of Stata Versions 6 to 12 can still download the old versions of 
-stcmd- in Stata Versions 6, 8 and 10 by logging onto my website and 
downloading their preferred version from there. This is done by typing, 
in Stata,

net from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/

and then selecting the Stata version required and downloading -stcmd-.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      stcmd: Run the Stat/Transfer st command from inside Stata

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      The program stcmd runs the Stat/Transfer st command from inside 
Stata, if
      Stat/Transfer is installed on the user's system. Stat/Transfer 
converts
      data sets from one format to another (eg Stata to/from R). It is
      available from Stata Corporation and manufactured by Circle 
Systems, and
      further information can be found at http://www.stattransfer.com/. The
      program inputst converts an existing non-Stata input file into a 
Stata
      dataset in the memory, overwriting any existing data. The program 
outputst
      converts the Stata dataset in the memory to a newly-created non-Stata
      output file. The programs inputst and outputst require stcmd, and 
therefore
      should not be downloaded alone. If the Stat/Transfer directory on the
      user's system is not on the user's default path, then the user 
must set
      the global macro StatTransfer_path to contain the path for the 
Stat/Transfer
      st command, possibly in the profile.do file (see on-line help for 
details).
