Hi
Thanks again for working on these.
I guess I'd just have a column labeled "N".  I'm not really clear on what "length" means in this context. I haven't seen it used in social science or public health research. Perhaps in another field?
Thanks
Gene

They all came out exactly the same as I got before, and pretty much the same as I got with SAS. The installation (on windows 10) was easy, and I was able to run the program and analysis easily. Thanks very much for the update.

thanks for the feedback!

I made that configurable meanwhile (more precisely, you can now control, how many of the variables are listed in rows). However that was a little trickier than it would seem, and did not make it into 0.7.4, for that reason.

You did.

I did not immediately react then, as I wasn't quite sure what would be the best label (and I am not sure, still). Right now, I'm thinking, perhaps "length (N)".
