Baum (Stata Press, 2006). The book's examples use several unofficial user-written Stata commands that are available from the SSC archive. The {cmd:itmeus} command will automatically install the latest versions of these commands into the user's copy of Stata by using the official {cmd:ssc} command. {p_end} {p 4 4}You must have Stata 8.2 or later to use {cmd:itmeus} and these commands; some commands may require Stata version 9. Stata 8.2 is a free upgrade from Stata 8.0 or 8.1; see {cmd:update query}. {p_end} {p 4 4}Many user-written routines are under development and are often updated for new features and bug fixes. If you have Stata 9, you may use the official {cmd:adoupdate} command at any time to check whether you have the latest versions of all user-written commands installed from the SSC archive, the {it:Stata Journal} and {it:Stata Technical Bulletin}, and selected user sites. Therefore, if you run {cmd:itmeus} today, you might use {cmd:adoupdate} after 1 or 2 months to ensure that your copies of the installed routines are up to date. {p_end} {title:Author} {p 4 4}Christopher F.
