R help - Aug 2011 - problem in asreml function in wgaim package

Dear R users,
 
I am trying to use "wgaim" package for QTL analysis using mixed model
approach. But i am stuck with "asreml" function while using
"wgaim" package.
Do i need a separate package to activate "asreml" function beside
"wgaim" package ?
 
If so, i tried to download "Asreml-R" package (i guess this is right
package for "asreml" funtion) but i could not find it. Where can i
find this package to download ?
Is this licensed package ?
 
I believe some of you can suggest way to use "wgaim" package or,
recommend similar package?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Regards,
Ram Kumar Basnet

When loading the package it tells us

 > library("wgaim")
Loading required package: qtl
Loading required package: lattice
ASReml-R needs to be installed before this package can be used.

Please visit http://www.vsni.co.uk/products/asreml/ for more information.

So go ahead.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
