Does anyone have the UNIXSTAT package that Gary Perlman submitted to
the Usenix library, running on a 3B2 or similar AT&T box? I have an
older version that is giving me some problems, and I don't want to
spend too much time hacking on it if someone else has a hacked version
that would run on a 3B2 with system V. It runs just fine on my 4.2 system.
Please mail me any helpful suggestions, or if you have a 3B sys V version,
mail me the sources. thx.

The UNIX|STAT version submitted to the USENIX tape is very old, maybe 3 1/2 years, and has some portability problems fixed years ago. If you have a version of UNIX|STAT that old, I strongly recommend you get the new version which is better in every way software can get better. There are new programs, new features, better documentation, online help, and the programs are more robust and faster. And there is now a handbook for people who know how to do statistics, and want to use UNIX|STAT. Full details follow. UNIX|STAT 5.2 DATA MANIPULATION & ANALYSIS PROGRAMS FOR UNIX and MSDOS UNIX|STAT is a set of over 20 data manipulation and analysis programs developed at the University of California, San Diego and at the Wang Institute of Graduate Studies by Gary Perlman. The programs are designed with the UNIX philosophy that individual programs should be designed as tools that do one task well and produce output suitable for input via pipes to other programs. Interactive use is supported in the command line interpreter which also provides a programming language for complex analyses. Typical usage involves a pipeline of transformations of data followed by input to an analysis program, summarized schematically by: INPUT DATA | TRANSFORM | ANALYSIS | OUTPUT RESULTS Functionality often built into statistical packages (e.g., graphics and sorting) is not re-invented in UNIX|STAT which delegates such responsibility to standard tools. DATA MANIPULATION PROGRAMS: abut join data files colex column extraction dm column oriented data manipulator maketrix create matrix type file from free-form file perm randomly permute lines in a file probdist probability distribution functions ranksort rank order columns repeat repeat a pattern or file reverse reverse lines, columns, and characters series print a series of numbers transpose transpose matrix type file validata verify data file consistency DATA ANALYSIS PROGRAMS: anova multi-factor analysis of variance calc interactive algebraic modeling calculator contab contingency tables and chi-square desc descriptions histograms, frequency tables dprime signal detection d' and beta calculations oneway one-way anova and t-test and error-bar plots pair paired data statistics, regression, plots regress multivariate linear regression stats report summary statistics ts time series analysis and plots FEATURES: easy to use (negligible training period) simple input formats (free format field oriented) used in pipelines with other UNIX or MSDOS utilities (sort, print) flexible data manipulation data validation (range and type checking) full documentation (manual entries, tutorials) extensible (many modular C functions) efficient (less than a few seconds per analysis) small enough for micros runs on any UNIX System (V6, V7, 2.8BSD, 4BSD, System V, etc.) runs on MSDOS 2.0 and 3.0 with 96K (IBM PC, Wang PC, AT&T PC, etc.) liberal copyright (can't be distributed for gain) in use at more than 400 UNIX sites for six years CHANGES FOR RELEASE 5.0 (March 1985): reworked to increase portability, reliability, usability most commands now use a standard option parser (getopt) all calculations now done in double precision improved error messages regress now does a partial correlation analysis colex and trans added as alternative to dm better approximations to F-ratios efficiency of I/O improved most programs ported to MSDOS improved random number seeding on UNIX standard exit status (0) on successful runs version control added CHANGES FOR RELEASE 5.1 (November 1985): several minor bugs removed the full package was ported to MSDOS CHANGES FOR RELEASE 5.2 (January 1986): 5 probability distributions with random number generation crosstabs and chi-square program on-line help in most programs plotting options added to paired data program anova program more robust error bar plots, unweighted means solution in oneway program better support for residual plotting in regress UNIX|STAT Handbook and new manual entries on-line manuals on MSDOS AVAILABILITY AND ORDERING INFORMATION: The programs are distributed under a liberal copyright. The software (program code, executable code, and on-line documentation) can be distributed freely, provided there is no material gain. All rights are reserved on the printed documentation.
