*! version 1.1.1 PR 23sep2005.
*
* History of ice
* 1.1.1 23sep2005 Better error trapping for passive() and substitute() options.
* 1.1.0 23aug2005 Replace -draw- option with -match-. Default becomes draw.
* Trace option documented, now has argument for filename.
* Report number of rows with 0, 1, 2, ... missing values.
* Arrange variables in increasing order of missingness when imputing.
* Split ties at random when more than one observation satisfies the
* prediction matching criterion
* 1.0.4 21jul2005 Trap and report error when running uvis
* 1.0.3 08jun2005 Tidy up display of equations when have multiple lines (long equations)
* 1.0.3 03jun2005 Silence file load/save
* 1.0.2 20may2005 Changed files containing imputations to tempfiles (standalone mode)
* (Angela Wood reported problem).
* 1.0.1 04may2005 Added a trace to a file (undocumented in help file).
* 1.0.0 18apr2005 First release, based on mice.
*
* History of mice
* 1.0.3 13apr2005 Minor tidying up, including recode of ChkIn and deletion of strdel.
* Check if prediction equations have a variable on both sides.
* 1.0.2 17feb2005 Added code to take care of inherited missingness of passive variables robustly.
* 1.0.1 21jan2005 Added display of regression command in showing prediction equations.
* 1.0.0 20jan2005 First release, based on mvis2/_mvis2.
*
* History of mvis
* 1.1.0 18jan2005 categoric() option removed.
* New options dryrun, passive(), substitute(), eq() added.
* Improvements to output showing actual prediction equations.
* 1.0.5 19nov2004 Delete dummy variables for categoric() variables with no missing data from output file
* Found problem with bsample in Stata 7 with "if" clause and boot option.
* Revert to Stata 8 for mvis, _mvis and uvis.
* 1.0.4 18nov2004 Weights not working (syntax error), fixed.
* 1.0.3 16nov2004 Categoric() option added to deal with unordered categoric
* covariates, updated default handling of such variables
* 1.0.2 16oct2004 Saving, using etc of file safest with compound quotes, fixed.
