Apparently you told Stata to "reverse reference" by using ib1.trmt
instead of i.trmt. Is this documented somewhere?? ...

Robert,
Try help fvvarlist. This gives all of the options for coding factor
variables . And yes,choice of reference group for dummy coding can
effect the values of the estimates even when the model is balanced.
Although, overall the models are equivalent regardless of the choice
of reference group.
Also see section 11.4.3 of the Stata 11 User's Guide. If you have
Stata 11, you should have this available as a PDF file. I found this
section very helpful.
