Thanks as ever to Kit Baum, this package has been updated on SSC.

The following explanation is identical in spirit and similar in detail to the original 2007 announcement at https://www.stata.com/statalist/arch.../msg00889.html

You can install it by
Code:
ssc inst njc_stuff
Please note that no programs are included. The package consists of two help files only.

NJC are my own initials. The module contains lists of my programs (and a few stand-alone help files) available in the public domain.

I have been pushing stuff at the Stata community for a while through SSC, the Stata Journal, the Stata Technical Bulletin, and yet other outlets. I started to get confused and forgetful myself about what was where. I maintained private versions of these files for some years and sent copies from time to time to various people. I have some reservations about publishing them in case that act seems rather egocentric, but as usual those not interested can ignore them, and I hope that some people will find them useful by listing work that might be helpful.

Listings of SSC downloads show very little relationship between what is popular and what I am most proud of! The files do not include transient or trivial programs that never got documented properly, principally various on-the-fly efforts in Statalist postings.

Once installed you have two new help files. .

Code:
help njc_stuff
fires up an alphabetical list with annotated comments on various packages. Unless your Stata is quite old you can type spaces, not underscores, if you prefer

Code:
help njc_best_stuff
fires up a thematic list of what I consider my best stuff. "Best" is best -- in my judgement alone -- compared with what is available elsewhere. .
