Download and install the frmttable package

[Tomas Guanziroli]

Dear All,
I need to use the frmttable package in a computer that does not have internet access. For that, I think I should download the package in another computer. However, I have not being very successful on finding the package.I also believe that I do not know what to do with it once I have it.
Does anybody know how to do it? I appreciate you help!
Tomás

1. Create a folder on a networked computer called "c:\ado2" (the name is arbitrary, but wherever you have write access. You could point it to your thumb drive).
2. In Stata, execute the command "net set ado c:\ado2" (or whatever you called the directory)
3. Execute the command "findit frmttable" This will bring up a list of packages to install. I think you want the one starting with sg97_5.
4. Choose "click here to install", and when it's done, click "click here to return to the previous screen"
5. Look for "ancilliary files" at the bottom. Click on "click here to get"
6. If you didn't already point it at your thumb drive, copy the contents of c:\ado2 to a thumb drive.
7. Go to the non-networked computer. Copy the files from the thumb drive into the folder c:\ado on the target computer.
   1. If you can't write to c:\ado on the target computer, see if you can copy them to c:\ado2 or whatever folder you do have write access to.
8. If this still doesn't work because of permissions, plan on running the command "sysdir adopath ++ f:\ado2" or wherever the files are stored each time you fire up Stata.
