Thanks for the update Kit. FYI, I notice that -fitstat- is in the top 
25. People should know that the version of -fitstat- on SSC is not 
the most current version (indeed, the SSC version is more than 10 
years old). Long and Freese keep the most current version of 
-fitstat- (along with various other routines which have older 
versions available on SSC) on Long's personal website. Do -findit 
spost9- to get the most up to date version. I've seen several people 
have problems because they were using old versions of Long and Freese 
software. When in doubt, I usually assume SSC has the most current 
version of software, but Long and Freese's routines are a noteworthy exception.
