spost13 is back!

[Richard Williams]

Long and Freese's spost13 package has found a new home at Stanford! To install it,

net from https://spost.su.domains/

If you already have spost13, even if you have the most current version, I suspect it is a good idea to uninstall it and then reinstall it from Stanford. That way, if there are updates in the future, adoupdate will find them. Otherwise it will keep on checking the now nonexistent Indiana University site. Just type

ado uninstall spost13_ado

Thanks Prof. William. However, it does not work for me. I have tried several times and here is what Stata returned to me:

. net from https://spost.su.domains/
connection timed out
https://spost.su.domains/ either
1) is not a valid URL, or
2) could not be contacted, or
3) is not a Stata download site (has no stata.toc file).
r(2);

I am using Stata on a Mac chip M4. Any clues?

The command

net from https://spost.su.domains/

works for me, so I suggest that you consult

help netio

to see what may apply in your case. Another check would be to see what happens with say

ssc desc c

to see whether the problem is generic and to do with the visibility of outside packages to your Stata.

Matthew, works for me too. Besides what Nick says, sometimes problems are temporary (e.g. the Stanford servers are down) and if you try again a few hours later all is well.

Worked for me my M3 mac, although the install was pretty slow. I suspect Richard is right that it might be a temporary site error.
