This paper describes a BASIC computer program which performs a profile analysis for two independent samples. Data may be read either from a disk file in the form of raw scores or from DATA statements within the program in the form of mean vectors and a pooled covariance matrix. Three F ratios are computed to test for parallel profiles, for coincident profiles, and for level profiles.
