MacMul performs computations of three basic multivariate data analysis methods: PCA (principal component analysis) for quantitative variables, CA (correspondence analysis) for counts tables, and MCA (multiple correspondence analysis) for qualitative variables. The PCA part offers several options: centered, standardized, non centered, or general PCA with any diagonal metric. Use of the three methods have been unified from the point of view of input files, computations, and outputs. A complete set of interpretation helps is proposed: inertia analyses (absolute and relative contributions, for rows and columns), data reconstitution using one or more factors, additional elements (rows or columns). Particular options are also available: CA seen as canonical correlation analysis of two discrete variables, variables/factors correlation ratios for MCA. Graphical outputs may be drawn with GraphMu. Data tables may have less rows than columns, and computations are always performed in the lowest dimension space. Version 3.01 needs 4Mb of main memory. An older version is available from the author ; it needs only 800Kb, but is in French and has more limited possibilities (max. table size = 9000 rows and 200 columns). GraphMu is designed to draw graphical outputs of data analysis methods (principal axes planes), as well as several types of graphics usefull for the analysis of multivariate data (scattergrams, line charts, bar charts, histograms, stepped curves, maps with circles and squares, ellipses, Gaussian curves). It is possible to superimpose graphics over digitized background maps. The main feature of GraphMu is the possibility to draw automatically *collections* of graphics. Each elementary graphic may correspond to one column of the data table (comparison of variables) and/or to one group of rows (comparison of sets of individuals). Drawings may be saved in files of type "PICT", and are compatible with commercial drawing software of the Macintosh (e.g. MacDraw). Copy/paste operations on pictures are supported, making superimpositions easy. The documentation for both programs is in French and may be obtained >From the author (Word4 documents). I am trying to translate it to English... They are freeware, but if you use them for papers in scientific reviews, please make reference to the following: References J. Thioulouse (1989).

Wheeler) Subject: [*] Report: ][ in a Mac Software Report: ][ in a Mac Here are the replies that I got asking for information about ][ in a Mac. I have them included below in the order that I received them. Also immediatly below is my original message. In short here is the gist of all the messages. It's dog slow, poorly supported, doesn't handle copy protected software, no color, no joystick (see message), limited graphics, most would buy an Apple IIe emulation card in a heartbeat if one were available for their machine. This software is apparently so frustrating to use that a few of those who replied don't use it or at least not very often. Also some of the old versions apparently didn't work on the Mac II line but this has obviously been rectified since Murph Sewall in running it on an Mac IIci.

Pugh's request on Laserwriter IINTX memory upgrades in Infomacv8-189.txt. According to the manual we got with our Xceed Memory Expansion Kits (one meg simms), fx simms and laserwriter simms are one in the same (I do not know if this is true for othe brands). We used the simms in mac fxs. The manufacturer was Micron Technology, Inc, Memory Applications Group, 8455 Westpark Street, Boise ID 83704 (208) 368-3800 or 1-800-MICRON1. However, Micron packages Laserwriter simms and fx simms with different product numbers. So, I would order the ones for the laserwriter just to make sure they were compatible. Looking at the Laserwriter system board, the simm slots are arranged as follows: J10 J7 J4 J1 ___ ___ ___ ___ | | | | | | | | BANK 0 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_| |_| |_| |_| J11 J8 J5 J2 ___ ___ ___ ___ | | | | | | | | BANK 1 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_| |_| |_| |_| J12 J9 J6 J3 ___ ___ ___ ___ | | | | | | | | BANK 2 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |_| |_| |_| |_| CONNECTOR PANEL Memory combinations are as follows: RAM (mb) Bank 0 Bank1 Bank 2 2 4x256K 4x256K none Standard Config 3 4x256K 4x256K 4x256K 4 4x1meg none none 5 4x1meg 4x256K none 8 4x1meg 4x1meg none 9 4x1meg 4x1meg 4x256K 12 4x1meg 4x1meg 4x1meg (6megs is not a recognized configuration) I have no connection with Micron in any way.

First, can anyone tell me anything good, bad, or otherwise about Dove's MaraThon 030 upgrade for the "vintage" Mac II? (I also have a friend who's curious about the upgrade for his IIx.) I'm mostly interested in the processor and MMU capabilities, in preparation for system 7, and speed is not a crucial factor for me. Right now MacWarehouse is offering it for $449, including SAM 2.0 and SUM II. Does anyone know of a better deal? What's the poop? Second, I recently saw in the digests (V.8, #180), a question refering to the .Z compression that other ftp sites use. I, too, have run into a brick wall trying to figure out how to decompress these files. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or is this not a Mac decompression scheme? What is it, then? Finally, I saw a reference to ResEdit 2.1b3 in V.8, #189. I currently have 2.0b1. Where can I ftp 2.1b3 from? Also, 2.0b1 can display but not edit 'crsr's. Can 2.1b3? If not, maybe those in charge could correct this oversight. (And while they're at it, maybe a 'ppat' editor, too?)

The trick is to gain access to the floppy with some software that does not require the desktop file and then to remove a file so there is room to install a desktop file. I tend to use Stuffit for wierd stuff like this. Boot a Mac under Finder (not MultiFinder) and launch Stuffit. Insert the disk. Select the disk with stuffit and compress one of the files on the floppy. Have the compressed file store on the hard disk and select the "delete when done" option for the compression. You'll end up moving a file to the hard disk and freeing up room on the floppy. Something like Disk First Aid should be able to recreate the Desktop file if the finder cannot. (For the inquisitive, remember command-S to see a list of Disk First Aid's actions.)

You can then use a tool (DA) such as MacTools Plus or DiskTop to copy the files to another disk. Then, reformat the original (or throw it away).

With all the flaming Symantec has been getting lately for their support (or lack thereof)... I'd like to turn around and say hats off to at least their SAM Virus Clinic support and virus hotline. Calling the hotline is an immediate, easy way to collect all the information needed to combat the newest strains of viruses (or would that be: viri ? ). Sure, it would've been nice if the line was actually a data line that SAM could call up from a modem and automatically update itself with the new information... or even if the number was an 800 number. But I'm just happy that the information is out there and available in ANY immediate form. My problem is this. I'd like to create an updater for SAM and the SAM intercept init. Something that anyone with little or no knowledge of SAM itself can use without fear of causing system damage (so _I_ wouldn't have to visit each machine in the lab and do the updating myself). I developed a SuperCard stack interface into which I can plug the updated information once... with the thinking that the virus search information in SAM was simple string resources that I'd be able to access with XCMD's. I polished off the interface of my project and started off to figure out which strings to add in SAM only to find that strings didn't exist. The search criteria does not seem to be in the resource fork at all. Since SAM Clinic is able to update the Intercept INIT with a simple command, I know it's possible... but can't figure out how. Does anyone know how I could update SAM and SAM Intercept with a HyperCard/SuperCard XCMD that I could write myself? Thanks Carl ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Nov 90 08:54:41 -0500 From: bda@uengr.calvin.edu (Bruce Abernethy) Subject: Sound Manager Does anyone have any sample code that uses the new 6.0.7 (7.0) Sound Manager? Also, who would I contact to get updated MPW C/C++ .h files that have the correct calls for the Sound Manager. I looked through the manuals (no easy task) and called APDA and I got the feeling that I would not see documentation or updates of this kind until after 7.0 ships next year. I was wondering too if Symantec will update Think C 4.0.2 and/or Pascal 3.0.1 to use these routines for its general users before Apple (MPW) does.
