Göran, thanks for the update, I'm just about to install it!
Just wanted to drop you a short line about performance (as you once requested): aftreg takes ages on my windows machine to calculate a small set of 7 observations which are not even grouped together by "id". To be a bit more precise, it takes 2:40 mins on my Intel T9300 Core2 Duo @ 2.5 GHz. Bigger samples with about 700 observations and 6 dependent variables are in the 10 minutes range. I just fired up my linux console (ubuntu) and calculation takes not even 2 seconds here. I've attached a screenshot of my system performance during calculation, maybe that could already be a first hint (interestingly I'm seeing some kind of sawtooth profile on physical memory history). Generally it's not a problem for me as I can use the linux version, but maybe you have an idea what makes it so slow. If I can provide you with more details or help on fixing it, let me know. Here's the dump for reconstruction:
