Hi All:
I have a dataset with paired observations (twins) with time to
event observations. Much of the data is right censored also. I want to
find out if the event times are a function of an observed covariate. I
know that some theoretical work has been done on this problem, but are
there widely available stat packages available (such as SAS macros)
that will handle it?

You could look at the bayesSurv package that runs in R.

Kooperberg has written on the topic. It is not clear how his LOGSPLINE
program was implemented, but given its year of birth (1992),
implementation as a SAS macro seems possible:
