This paper describes a program, which performs a Configural Frequency Analysis for dichotomous data. The aim of the method is to identify types of persons with equal or similar patterns (configurations) in the values of the variables. The method uses dependencies among the variables not only of the usual correlation type, but also of simultaneous higher order interaction type. The program is of special use for analysing large samples of persons in relation to the number of variables.
