an12 CRC has new area code
Charles Fox, Computing Resource Center, 800-782-8272
Our telephone and fax numbers changed as of November 2. The new Area Code is 310. It is replacing 213 in many areas
of Los Angeles County—so you might want to check the number of anyone else you call in this area.
New numbers: 310-393-9893 phone, 310-393-7551 fax. The 800 numbers stay the same: 800-782-8272 if calling from the
U. S. (except Los Angeles); 800-248-8272 if calling from Canada.
an13 TCL is now marketing Stata in the UK
Ana Timberlake, Managing Director, Timberlake Clark Limited, London
Timberlake Clark Limited (TCL) are a statistical and economic modelling consultancy, based in Greenwich. Over its ten
years existence, TCL have marketed and supported many statistical analysis packages. One of our non-executive directors (Patrick
Royston) has been a very happy user of Stata for over a year.
Our support of Stata will be user driven and may include
• Over the telephone free support
• Training courses (public or in-house)
• User meetings
• and others, e.g. demonstrations, participation in technical meetings
Please contact me and let me know what activities you would like us to get involved with in the UK. I am particularly
interested to know if you would benefit from a CHEST agreement for Stata.
We are also responsible for the organization of STATSIG (Special Interest Group in STATistics), a group with activities
sponsored by the IBM PC User Group. Let us know if you are interested in receiving details of our meetings and activities.
