Description

    mypkg informs on packages installed with ado, net or ssc and accessible
    to your Stata.

    With no arguments, mypkg displays a list of packages installed, sorted
    alphabetically by their name and giving 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.

    Given one or more package name patterns, 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 * or ? as understood by the match() function.  Thus xt* means all
    names starting with xt and parmes?  means all names which are parmes
    followed by one character.

    Given one or more package names, 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.

    mypkg takes its information from, and depends on the existence of, the
    file stata.trk within what sysdir knows as STBPLUS. (In Stata 8, this is
    equivalent to what sysdir knows as PLUS.)

 
Options
 
    all specifies that all packages satisfying the criteria should be shown
        and not just the last installed with each distinct name.

    list_options are options of list other than noobs.


Examples

    . mypkg
