This talk will discuss the -svr- suite of user-written commands for Stata. These commands facilitate the analysis of data from surveys with complex sampling plans, and represent an alternative to official Stata's Taylor series linearization-based -svy- commands. I will touch briefly on the theoretical basis for these techniques and contrast them with Taylor series. The heart of the talk will present the commands; I will conclude with some observations of the joys and sorrows of constructing add-on commands to official Stata.
