Two or more packages with the same name or a package installed more than once will by default be listed just once. {p 4 4 2}Given one or more package name patterns, {cmd:mypkg} displays information on each such package installed according to the last date installed. Two or more packages with the same name or a package installed more than once will by default be listed just once. A pattern includes one or more uses of {cmd:*} or {cmd:?} as understood by the {cmd:match()} function. Thus {cmd:xt*} means all names starting with {cmd:xt} and {cmd:parmes?} means all names which are {cmd:parmes} followed by one character. {p 4 4 2}Given one or more package names, {cmd:mypkg} displays information on each installed according to the last date installed. Two or more packages with the same name or a package installed more than once will by default listed just once. {p 4 4 2}{cmd:mypkg} takes its information from, and depends on the existence of, the file {cmd:stata.trk} within what {cmd:sysdir} knows as STBPLUS. (In Stata 8, this is equivalent to what {cmd:sysdir} knows as PLUS.) {title:Options} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:all} specifies that all packages satisfying the criteria should be shown and not just the last installed with each distinct name. {p 4 8 2}{it:list_options} are options of {help list} other than {cmd:noobs}. {title:Examples} {p 4 8 2}{inp:. mypkg} {p 4 8 2}{inp:. mypkg ts* xt*} {p 4 8 2}{inp:. mypkg parmest} {p 4 8 2}{inp:. mypkg parmest, all} {title:Author} Nicholas J.
