[R-sig-Geo] Handling realisations in geoRglm

[Chris Barker]

Dear Dr. Ribeiro and Dr. Christensen,

Thanks very much to both of you for your replies.  Your answers are a 
big help, even if the answer is no.  I'll continue my search for a 
package to analyze my data, and if realisations are ever accommodated in 
geoRglm, I'd love to revisit this.

Thanks again,
Chris
