Stat/Transfer is my go-to software when I need to convert data from SAS or SPSS to Stata.
User-written meta-analysis commands (e.g., metan, metafunnel) must be downloaded and installed to perform meta-analysis in Stata.
We can easily change the default working directory in Stata for Linux/Unix by adding three lines of code to the profile.do file.
