Hank,
Attached is the dataframe that can be supplied for the argument
comp.CAND.frm.  The argument for comp.LIS.frm can be deleted since
it currently isn't used.   The other arguments can be set as:
delta.0.Y.0 = 50
gamma = 40.
cheers,
dave

Hi David,
It would be helpful if you supply a little data, upon which this would
operate.
