Been circulating for some time -- good to advertize it. Definitely a step forward.

But, couple of caveats (which I've been discussing with Ken on and off):

1\ Doesn't handle interactin terms (either of continuous covariates, or factor/covariate). As ken obtusely puts it -- "Inferences could change if interaction terms are included". I'd say that was an understatement. ;-)

2\ assumes that regressors are strictly orthogonal

3\ assumes that factors and continuous covariates all modeled as, continuous covariates.
