This is very useful if a user wants to port the user's add-on packages to another machine, which may have no internet access or restricted internet access, so the user may not be able to install add-on packages using {helpb net} or {helpb ssc}. {title:Options for {cmd:sysport}} {phang} {cmd:saving(}{it:zipfilename}[{cmd:, replace}]{cmd:)} is required. It specifies the filename to be created or replaced. If {it:zipfilename} is specified without an extension, {cmd:.zip} will be assumed. {phang} {cmd:dirlist(}{it:sysdir_list}) specifies a list of one or more code words, recognised by {helpb sysdir} as identifying system directories used by Stata, which {cmd:sysport} will zip to the file specified by the {cmd:saving()} option. The code words may be in upper or lower case, and must be {opt p:lus}, {opt pe:rsonal}, {opt s:ite}, or {opt o:ldplace}. If {cmd:dirlist()} is not specified, then it is set to {cmd:plus}, and the output zip file will contain the add-on packages installed by the user. {title:Examples} {pstd} Zip the user's PLUS folder: {p 8 12 2}{cmd:. sysport, saving(myplus, replace)}{p_end} {pstd} Zip the user's PLUS, PERSONAL, and SITE folders: {p 8 12 2}{cmd:. sysport, saving(myplus, replace) dir(plus personal site)}{p_end} {title:Author} {pstd} Roger Newson, King's College London, UK.{break} Email: {browse "mailto:roger.newson@kcl.ac.uk":roger.newson@kcl.ac.uk} {title:Also see} {p 4 13 2} {bind: }Manual: {hi:[P] adopath}, {hi:[R] zipfile}, {hi:[R] net}, {hi:[R] ssc} {p_end} {p 4 13 2} On-line: help for {helpb sysdir}, {helpb adopath}, {helpb zipfile}, {helpb net}, {helpb ssc} {p_end}
