Availability
Limdep 7.0 is available on Unix, both on Kellogg's Unix server, skew3, and DCE/DFS. NLOGIT 2.0, an add-on program to compute nested logit models, is installed in skew3, while NLOGIT 1.1 is available on DCE/DFS.
July 9, 2001 update: To access the Limdep installation of Limdep that includes NLOGIT 2.0 on skew3, run "limdep.nlogit" instead of "limdep".
Note: Version 7.0 will be the last version for Unix and mainframes produced by Econometric Software, which will discontinue support for it once version 8 for Windows is rolled out.
