Thanks once again to Kit Baum, a new package sysport is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the ssc command to do this.

The sysport package is described as below on my website, and enables users to zip one or more of their Stata system directories for porting to machines that may have little or no Internet access, and which therefore cannot download add-on packages using the ssc or net commands.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
sysport: Zip system directories for porting to another machine

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
sysport inputs a list of one or more sysdir code words for system
directories and saves the corresponding directories to a zip file,
in which the system directories can be ported to another machine.
This is very useful if a user wants to port the user's add-on
packages to another machine, which may have no internet access or
restricted internet access, so the user may not be able to install
add-on packages using net or ssc.
