Abstract

This is a new version of an old and reliable general statistics package. By the time you read this review, the annual revision cycle will have brought out a completed version 4.1 (due June, 1985). Data files are ASCII with standard BASIC delimiters (commas or spaces), and any standard ASCII file can be put into Statpak. Instructions for data acquisition from other programs are included in the large notebook manual. All code is in BASIC, so the program can be slow for large data sets.
