TWOSTEP how to get AIC/BIC for each number of clusters asked for.

[Art Kendall]

TWOSTEP does a hierarchical clustering on a subset of the cases and then applies that to all of the cases. 
If I recall correctly TWOSTEP used to show the AIC/BIC for each cluster number down from the max asked for. E.g., if I asked for a max of 5 clusters it would give the AIC or BIC for 5 down to 1 cluster 5,4,3,2,1.

I haven't used TWOSTEP previously with the latest version but cannot seem to find that in the output?  Was it removed? Is there now a way to see that?

I believe I was told that the AIC/BIC output in TWOSTEP was removed from release 18 by mistake.
