Thanks, as ever, to Kit Baum, there is an update of my program 
-ralloc- on the SSC server.  -ralloc- allocates treatments
in a randomized controlled trial.

The latest version (3.4.3, dated 2007-10-07) contains the following 
enhancements:

1. support for 4x4 two-way factorial designs (previously 3x4 or 4x3 
designs were the highest levels for a two-way factorial design)

2. support for 2x2x2, 2x2x3, 2x3x3 and 3x3x3 three-way factorial designs

3. up to 10 (was 5) treatments may be specified in a one-way design

4. extra examples in the help file showing how to assign treatments 
in designs with more complicated allocation ratios than
permitted by the basic ratio()  option.

5. minor fixes, nothing that touched the basic randomizing code.

-ssc describe ralloc-    or    -ssc install ralloc-   will get you there.


bug notifications dreaded but gratefully received.
