Help install st0026_2

[Tommie Thompson]

Hey. I don't know why I can't get this right. This should be the easiest thing to do. No matter what codes I use to install, I keep getting a "package not found" error. I can't even find it on the Stata Journal website. Is the site down or something?

I've tried:

net install http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj5-3

and

net install st0026_2

Neither worked. Thanks
