Analysis of longitudinal data is discussed in Pinheiro and Bates
(2000), "Mixed-effects Models in S and S-PLUS" (Springer), which uses
the nlme package.  You may also want to look at the web site for Jed
Frees upcoming book "Longitudinal and Panel Data: Analysis and
Applications for the Social Sciences"

The Statistical Code section provides examples in R as well as SAS and
Stata.
