R help - Jan 2010 - a question about "multilevel"model

Hello all:
I've read the document named "A Brief Introduction to R, the multilevel
package and the nlme package".
At p68, one can transform the dataset to the required format by using
"make.univ".
I wanna know,how the new variable "MULTDV" is calculated(can you show
me the formula if possible please?)?And what's the usage of this new
variable in the following analysis?
 
 
Thanks a lot!
 
My best.

This is reshaping the data frame from wide to long form.  In
particular, MULTDV is as.vector(t(dvs)).  Try typing this on a line by
itself:

make.univ

to see the code and clarify your understanding.   Also try the
examples in ?reshape to familiarize yourself with wide to long
transformations.
