matselrc installation: no matches

[Enrique Hernandez]

Dear all,

I am trying to run an old syntax that requires the use of the matselrc command developed by Nick Cox. However, I am unable to find the ado file.

findit matselrc

returns the message "no matches". The same with

ssc install matselrc

I have found the same problem to install the matsum command.

Thanks!

The program has been tagged as "historical" by StataCorp given the advent of Mata. I've got to say that I don't use this program much myself now but I am always happy if anyone finds a new use for ancient code.

Hi Nick,
Very useful indeed. Managed to install.
But what is the newer alternative to creating a new matrix from an older one with selected rows/columns from the old ones?
Thank you in advance.
