[ESS] ESS + Stata 10 + Windows XP

[renato corbetta]

Stata is still popular in my field, and I tend to jump back and forth 
between Stata and R.
I use Stata 8 and 9 frequently, but never managed to establish a 
connection between ESS and Stata. 

I run Stata 8 on an openSUSE Linux computer.  On that machine, Stata 8 
still works
from the X terminal, but I never managed to get a running process with 
Emacs 21.3 and ESS.
I run Stata 9 SE on a Windows XP machine.   It's all GUI there, so I had 
no luck with that
either.  I have Emacs 21.3 on the Windows computer.  Occasionally I use 
ESS to prepare my
.do files.  But then I have to fire up the Stata GUI for the analysis 
part and cut-and-paste my .do
file into the Stata editor.  Finally, I go back to Emacs to read my .log 
file.  It gets a bit tedious
at times.

Regards,

renato
