_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Zelig interface functions. Used by VDC DSB to  communicate with
     Zelig.

_U_s_a_g_e:

             zeligDescribeModelXML(modelName,force=FALSE,schemaVersion="1.1")
             zeligInstalledModels(inZeligOnly=TRUE,schemaVersion="1.1")
             zeligListModels(inZeligOnly=TRUE) 
             zeligModelDependency(modelName,repos) 
             zeligGetSpecial(modelName)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

modelName: Name of model as returned by zeligInstalledModels or
          zeligListModels.

inZeligOnly: Flag, include only models in official Zelig distribution

   repos: URL of default repository to use

schemaVersion: version of Zelig schema

   force: generate a description even if no custom description supplied

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Use zeligInstalledModels and zeligListModels to determine what
     models are available in zelig for a particular schema level. Use
     zmodel2string(zeligDescribeModel()) to generate an XML instance
     describing a model. Use zeligModelDependencies to generate a list
     of package dependencies for models. Use zeligGetSpecial to get the
     name special function, if any, to apply to the outcome variables.
     All functions return NULL if results are not available for that
     model.
