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.

Buzz -

I notice after using findit, that the Stata viewer gives me  3 versions:
glamm6, gllamm(from user meetings) and gllamm (from bocode). Which one is
the latest?
Thanks

Subject: st: commendations to Stata


I just this AM installed the Stata 8 and it's net upgrades, and I would
like to commend Stata on several notable points.

1. I had been having trouble with upgrading ado files ( as posted on
statalist earlier today), and after considerable effort over a previous day
and emails with Stata Tech support today, I received, quite unexpectedly, a
phone call from Kevin Cross at Stata Tech Support who had decided that
since we weren't getting anywhere after many repeated email attempts, he
would contact me personally to help.  I must say I was tremendously
impressed to get that phone call.  I had, I hope, been cautious in using up
Stata Tech Support time in that I had used both e-mail (extensively) and
the Statalist first, but  my experiences with other tech support providers
make me aware that it is  very very impressive to get that kind help and
concern about resolving my problem.  My thanks, and kudos, both to Kevin,
and to Stata for providing that kind of support.  Sure makes buying the
upgrades a great value!

2. I also downloaded the newest gllamm and tested that today...it had been
too slow for me to consider using very extensively.  my congratulations to
Stata and the authors for the speed improvements...with my data they were
substantial!

Thanks

Buzz Burhans
