Some serious bugs in RENUM were corrected last April. Please download a new version. If position of year of birth is specified but unknown parent groups are not requested (0), number of animal effects in renum.jaa reflects 2 unknown groups rather than 1 needed. This may be seen by examining file renum.msg. Problems can be expected if renum.jaa is used as a parameter file for variance component programs, where exact number of unknown parent groups is important. To correct this problem, either deduct 1 from the number of animals in renum.jaa, or don't specify the position of year-of-birth. THE ABOVE PROBLEM CORRECTED ON AUGUST 13, 1993
