Thanks for the pointer (I was not aware that nlme and lme4 had different
versions of lme), but I'm still stuck at the same place using lme4:> VarCorr(fit)
Groups Name Variance Std.Dev.
yeart (Intercept) 0.040896 0.20223
Residual 0.091125 0.30187
The number I need to extract and store is the .20223, but all the
components I can find in VarCorr(fit) are something else.

In glmmML the estimate is returned as the $sigma component
of the model, but I also need the same info from 'family=gaussian'
models.
