IMPORTANT NOTICE
I have just discovered an important bug in setting up the design matrix
for certain interactions - mainly interactions of constrained terms
like c(A).c(B) are affected. The bug will not affect variance components
but does mess up the interpretation of the constrained fixed effects.
It has not altered any of my test jobs.
If you have predicted means from an analysis with interactions of constrained
terms, you should rerun the job and recalculate the predicted values.
I hope to put a fixed version up later today and will advise.
Please accept my sincerest apology.

===========================
Concerning HUGO's question
Assuming you have the data in the multivariate form,
e.g.
Header
tag !P
sire
dam
fix
x1
y1 y2 y3 y4
data_file
y1 y2 y3 y4 ~ Trait at(Trait,1).x1 Tr.fix !r Tr.tag
etc
If you have an older version, use Trait|1/x1 instead of at(Trait,1).x1
