I have installed Stata 5 on Athena Suns. To run it do "add stata_v5.0; stata"
at the UNIX prompt. I have a manual set in my office in case anyone needs
to look something up. I plan to keep the old 4.0 release the default until
after the current semester is over. 

Other news: a Linux version has become available and I am trying to
get it now. It will be run if/when it arrives under wrapper control-
which means you must maintain network connectivity with one of our
servers or else it won't run, due to licensing/legal obligations to
the vendor.

Any problems with the installation should be reported directly to me.

[facdevs, can you pass this on to any TAs you know of in courses currently
using Stata?]
