Re: st: latest version of gllamm

[Buzz Burhans <wsb2@cornell.edu>]

Hi Al,
I've been out at a meeting all day, and it looks like Nick Cox answered 
your question.  The copy I am running is the bocode copy, which appears to 
be the latest version on your list as Nick suggested; however, I checked at 
Dr. Rabe Hesketh's website at Kings College,

and it appears that the version there is a later version that the ones that 
come up on net search gllamm:

*! version 2.1.7 SRH 18 January 2003

located at 
http://www.iop.kcl.ac.uk/IoP/Departments/BioComp/programs/gllamm.html

and according to the instructions at that site, may be obtained as follows:

   . net from http://www.iop.kcl.ac.uk/IoP/Departments/BioComp/programs
                              . net describe gllamm
                              . net install gllamm
                              . net install gllamm, replace /* to replace 
previous version */

I believe that the version I downloaded yesterday from bocode is:

*! version 2.1.4 SRH 9 October 2002

which is curious, because it has a distribution date indicated as 
:  Distribution-Date: 20030123, although the description says it is version 
2.1.4, which makes it older than the latest version at the King's College site.


I ran version 2.1.4 when I test drove it yesterday; I am going to get the 
2.1.7 version directly from her site however.
