I am in complete agreement with the need for an equivalent
to SAS Proc Mixed (for my work - currently the only serious
limitation in Stata)
However, I believe that -gllamm- (written by Sophia Rabe-
Hesketh) is not just an alternative to NLMIXED, but is in fact
more flexible (ie gllamm can handle n-level data while
NLMIXED is limited to 2-level data).
