USEOLD: Stata module to provide a convenient wrapper for unicode translate in Stata 14+

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: useold acts as a wrapper for Stata 14's unicode translation commands, unicode translate and unicode analyze, when used in Stata 14, converting the file to use into unicode. Therefore, it is designed to be a seamless replacement to Stata's regular use. This means that useold is to be used in the same way as use itself, and behaves exactly like use in Statas older than version 14. This program is incorporating ideas and concepts from Alan Riley of StataCorp, as presented on Statalist.
