An Applesoft BASIC computer program is described which enables the researcher to conduct pair wise multiple comparisons on a set of independent correlation coefficients. The statistical technique used is attributable to Levy (1977), and is a modification of the Spjøtvoll-Stoline method. Applications involving both equal and unequal sample sizes can be accommodated.
