-Statplot- update (co-authored with Nick Cox) out now. @Stata pkg now includes use of frames for saving resultssets,

-reshape- is the @Stata cmd everyone second-guesses.
-reshapehelper- fixes that. It works out the reshape for you: it reads your variable names, figures out the wide-or-long data structure, & dry-runs the command on a subset copy of your data. github.com/ericabooth
