[Limdep Nlogit List] Problem creating *.lpj in Stat Transfer 10

[james benson]

Thanks for the message.
What I learned this morning is that in Stat Transfer 10, there is module 
within the Options dialog box (in ST10) which allows us to set variable 
names to upper case during the transfer, regardless of their case in the 
source file (or the perceived preference of the destination file). After 
specifying the conversion to upper-case variable names, the problem with 
LIMDEP not "seeing" the lower-case variables was solved, and I am back 
to working.
