Westell Groups in Asreml

[Uilson V Lopes <wilsonvl@grove.ufl.edu>]

 Dear Asremlers,
 I am a forester trying to analyse some data using Westell groups assuming
an animal model. I am having problems in how to specify the model.
 
Question: Is my info file correct?  How should the model be? Is that one
in the info file correct? What about if instead using the model in my info
file I use:
vol  ~ mu loc loc/blk !r tree  

Thanks
Uilson Lopes
