I've not been able to take advantage of this neat little package because
I've been able to correct my -tsset- problem. The clue was in the r(451)
error. I set about deleting duplicate years for each of my cross-sections
and, after extensive checking and testing, I was finally able to -tsset-
on all six of my time variables. My grateful thanks to Kit (_and_ for
-tsmktim-), Nick and Andrew Taylor for their posts.
