[ADMB Users] Compile Error

[Armando Mastracci]

Jim,

Yes.  I was just working through that.  I received some help from Mark Fowler.  

It wasn't obvious to me to declare temporary variables in the parameter section by simply removing the init_.  I was under the impression that only optimized parameters went there and init_ was simply a way to initialize them with .pin data.

All is compiling now.  Working through the fact that all my optimized values are NaN.  :-)

Thanks for your help.
