updating SSC with the latest version, or by replacing the SSC version with a dummy version #82

The obsolete and buggy SSC version leads to confusion. Should be replaced with the latest version (possibly using TravisCI to simply send the latest version once a release is made). Alternatively, replace with a dummy version that does nothing but print out text redirecting to Github.

We have tried to update the SSC version, but we haven't received a response from the maintainer, so we can't do much about it. You can try using the GitHub version or the stata journal version:

net sj 19-3
net install st0572
net get st0572

The latest stable versions of parallel can be installed from a GitHub

net install parallel,  from(https://raw.github.com/gvegayon/parallel/stable/)
mata mata mlib index

I'll try to see if we can fix the SSC again.

You should have no issues updating the SSC version - Kit Baum is usually quite responsive (but it is currently summer).
