Thanks to Kit Baum, the package -vselect- is now available in the SSC.
To install, type -ssc install vselect-.
-vselect- performs variable selection for linear regression. Through
the use of the Furnival-Wilson leaps-and-bounds algorithm, all-subsets
variable selection is supported. The stepwise methods, forward
selection and backward elimination, are also supported.
This version of the -vselect- package adds two features. Now when
performing all-subsets regression, users may specify the number of best
models to be reported at each predictor size. Also, factor variables
are now supported in the -fix()- option.

Regression, The Stata Journal, 10:650-669.
