Abstract

This presentation will illustrate several uses of the programs in the dirtools package. dirtools is a collection of programs designed to deal with native Stata files (that is, .dta, .do, .ado, .mata, or .gph) and some of the more frequently generated file formats (.eps, .pdf, and .tex). The programs provide easy access to typical tasks of these file types. For example, the user can describe or load datasets, compile Mata files, translate .gph files to .eps or .pdf files, and compile TeX files. In addition, the package allows an easy way to change the working directory and to define bookmarks for frequently used directories.
