A computer program is described which performs the Bowker test of symmetry in a square contingency table, the Light-Margolin and Pearson tests for homogeneity in non-ordered contingency tables, the Kruskal-Wallis test for ordered dependent variables, and the Kendall and Maxwell tests for monotonic trend in ranks. The description includes the input, output, limitations, and availability of the program.
