                  I am working with a guy who has tried to produce a
                  fairly complex model<br>
                  without understanding much about how ADMB works. One
                  of the problems that<br>
                  newbies have is the nature of properly initializing
                  variables.<br>
                  It should be easy to have a<br>
                  <br>
                     ./xxx   -init<br>
                  <br>
                  to verify that parameters are properly initialized.
                   It would just have to<br>
                  evaluate the userfunction twice with the same initial
                  parameter values and<br>
                  check the values of the model parameters to see where
                  they differ.<br>
