Title
labutil2 -- Manage value and variable labels
Description
labutil2 is a bundle of programs to manage value labels, variable labels and more. Programs are listed below.
Some of the programs modify existing value labels and/or variables that are not explicitly specified. This behavior violates Stata conventions. Read the help files carefully, before using the programs.
