R help - Dec 2009 - Covariate adjusted survival curves

Hello,

We are using frailty models to estimate risk of one year death. Is there a
way to generate survival curves adjusted for covariates and also include
frailty term?

Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Is there really only _one_ way to generate such estimates?

  I don't know how to do this as yet -- so it's not in the survival
package.  (On my list of things to think hard about; I'd like to know
the answer too, both how to compute and what the result is worth.)
