mysureg reported a model p-value greater than 1. This error has been fixed in the corresponding ado-files at the download site.

mylogit and myprobit produced incorrect model likelihood-ratio tests. This error has been fixed in the corresponding ado-files at the download site.

In myweibull, appendix C.4, line 4 from the bottom, ereturn local depvar `time' should be suppressed. This error has been fixed in the corresponding ado-files at the download site.
