Jarret,
I've donwloaded the zip file and installed, but maybe have lost some
pre-req check. I have manually installed sna.
Anyway, which would be the approach you suggest? Making (using my
example) 4 different models, one for each construct, then use
combine.models and add.to.models to create the 12 models to be
compared?
Best,
Iuri.
