ICS-Lib is a collection of additions to Stata, a fast and feature-loaded statistics program. To run these commands you need to have access to an installed version of Stata, release 6. Obtaining a selection of ICS-Lib is mostly easily accomplished from within Stata, while you have an internet connection. Within Stata,

click on Help

click on "Stb and User-written programs"

click on "from www.stata.com"

click on "users"

click on "jweesie"

Stata will then open a Stata-style index of the commands in ICS-Lib. ICS-Lib is divided in a number of categories.

Statistics
Data management
Graphics
For Programmers
Utilities

You can read short descriptions and the help files before "installing" commands. In the unlikely event that you later want to uninstall ICS-Lib commands, use the Stata command ado.
