     Zelig is an easy-to-use program that can estimate, and help
     interpret the results of, an enormous range of statistical models.
     It literally is ``everyone's statistical software'' because
     Zelig's simple unified framework incorporates everyone else's (R)
     code. We also hope it will become ``everyone's statistical
     software'' for applications and teaching, and so have designed
     Zelig so that anyone can easily use it or add their programs to
     it.  Zelig also comes with infrastructure that facilitates the use
     of any existing method, such as by allowing multiply imputed data
     for any model, and mimicking the program Clarify (for Stata) that
     takes the raw output of existing statistical procedures and
     translates them into quantities of direct interest.
