The third party vendor products mentioned naturally won't work unchanged, since SAS is being internally changed. The question is whether the vendors will update their products, or whether SAS will provide an interface so that procedures written in other languages using old conventions will work. There is also a third possibility, which is the appropriate answer in the case of Mlogit and Mprobit, namely that SAS may provide new Procs that perform these analyses. Indeed, there is already a new Probit procedure in PC/SAS v. 6.03, and SAS staff at a recent meeting I attended assured us that a new procedure for logits will be available soon under version 6. I believe it will do multinomial logits. Meantime (and it is has been an AGGRAVATINGLY LONG TIME waiting for mainframe v. 6) I use LIMDEP for such analyses.
