I have mainly moved to Matlab, but I still use the following a bit. The command line help is my main tool.
Read/write STATA dictionaries.

Certain restricted eigenvalue problems. Used in this paper.
DOS command line help for internal Gauss functions and mine. I've used this for years. You might like it.

I no longer write many general purpose STATA programs, although I am still fond of knocking out some code starting with version 3.1. I include these old programs for completeness.
Visit STATA
Note: If you use STATA 8.0 and insheet, you should visit STATA update and get an updated executable. The double option has a bug in 8.0. We've also recently found a bug in tsfill with very large datasets. The fix is pretty simple. Thanks to Sergey Chernenko on both of these.

Donald Knuth offered this warning about some code: “Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.”

As for my code, well, if you are cautious, read the site warning; if you are really cautious, click yourself to a source of highly reliable code.

DOS calculator I wrote in my youth. Has pr. and financial functions and segment:offset math!

Imhof routines to evaluate dist. of quadratic forms of normals. I wrote a special one for a paper. A very nice Imhof routine has now been ported to Matlab (this code is part of Paul Ruud's excellent book) and to RATS
