R help - Apr 2004 - mixed model with binomial link?

Hello.  I have to fit a mixed model from a repeated measures split-plot
experiment in which the response variable is binary.  This requires a
generalised linear mixed model in which I can specify a binomial
distribution.  I can’t find the appropriate package in R.  I have looked
at glmmML, but it doesn’t seem to allow any mixed structure beyond a
simple 2-level one.  Can anyone point me to the appropriate package, so
that I don’t have to go to SAS?

Thanks.

nlme() should be able to do this.

I think it would be better to use GLMM from the lme4 package for this.
