Ado-lists: A new concept for Stata

A new command called adolist is presented. adolist is a tool to create, install, and uninstall lists of user ado-packages (“adolists”). For example, adolist can create a list of all user packages installed on a system and then install the same packages on another system. Moreover, ado-list can be used to put together thematic lists of packages such as, say, a list on income inequality analysis or time-series add-ons, or the list of “41 user ados everyone should know”. Such lists can then be shared with others, who can easily install and uninstall the listed packages using the adolist command.
