There seems to be a problem with installation of software packages that have auxiliary files. I am not sure if what I describe below, and, is new behavior, or just something that's becoming more apparent (to me?) over time. Auxiliary files obtained via a net get command (rather than as part of a net install command) are copied into Stata's 'net other' directory specified by net set other rather than into Stata's PLUS directory. This makes sense when the auxiliary files are sample data, but not so much when they're necessary for the functioning of the package, as they are for markstat (from SCC) and zanthro (from SJ) to name two I've seen problems with in the last few weeks.
The default for the 'net other' directory is the user's current directory, and any setting to another directory is not retained from session to session of Stata. Here's an example using markstat installation. (Note that this example is functionally equivalent to using search markstat, clicking to open the description in the Viewer window, and clicking on the two 'click here' links in the Viewer window.). Net query from ado /Users/lisowskiw/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/ other (current directory).

Adding OCR would let them do so independently — by scanning and converting printed content into machine-readable text, or capturing and converting digital files.

I'm not a developer, so I can't take this any farther - I'm past the limits of my knowledge here, and am only writing this because I've seen users stumble over this twice in recent weeks.
Thanks for bringing this up, William. By default Stata determines where files go based on the suffix:.ado and.sthlp are considered 'installation files' and go in the system directory, and practically everything else is considered an 'ancillary file', made available through a separate get, and put in the current working directory. It is possible, however, to force other files to be installed rather than treated as ancillary by designating them as F rather than f in the package file, see help usersite for more information. This is in fact the strategy I used with markstat. In 1.0 we designated markstat.css as F, and in 2.0 we extended the designation to markstat.docx and markstats5.zip, which has JavaScript and CSS files for HTML slide shows, so these files are found by findfile no matter where the command is run from.

These files had the correct designation last November 14, but as you note they are now listed as ancillary at SSC. Not sure what might have happened, but will follow up with Kit Baum and report when I know more. Thank you for your resolution to this problem.
I have brought these threads to the attention of the zanthro support person to see if in their case it was intentional, since in the dm0004 release the ancillary files were (and are) included in the installation, while in the update dm00041 they are not - as confirmed by looking at the.pkg file. I appreciate your that the problem with markstat was due to an issue at SSC. While zanthro is distributed through SJ, and the most recent release is from 2013, I am wondering if a similar issue exists/existed there at some point. This seemed too systematic - two instances of the same issue on two different packages coming to light within a few weeks of each other. By the way, thanks too for the reference to help usersite - I knew I'd seen a discussion of package construction, but was not able to pull up the magic search term (hint: search package is useless, as is search pkg ) from memory when I was writing last night.
Superstar. Statistics with Stata Stata is a powerful statistical and data management software package. For more details, go to:. The distributor in Australia is Survey Design and Analysis, based in the ACT: Listed below are a number of Stata programs (ado files) and related materials which are freely available for download. These programs are also available from the SSC archives in Boston, and downloadable within Stata using the ssc command (type 'help ssc' inside Stata for more information). In addition, this site has some other materials not available from the SSC archives: some JEdit code and some materials for the -tabout- program, including a tutorial. There is also an article which illustrates how to do basic programming with matrices. Tabout: is a Stata user command to export publication quality cross-tabulations to a text file or to other applications, such as Word and Excel.
