Subject: [*] multivariate
MacMul and GraphMu are two programs for multivariate data
analysis and graphical display on Macintosh.
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:

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.

Here's a cute stack from Paul Pratt, the author of Odesta's Data Desk
Professional. It has a commercial bent in that the T-shirt designs shown
in the stack can be purchased, but the artistry is intriguing by itself.
It's refreshing to see T-shirt designs that are open to interpretation
by the viewer, as opposed to the current fad of trite or vulgar statements.

I looked at these types of programs not so long ago and found many.
My favourites were a HyperCard based cataloger that I don't remember
the name of right now (but will look it up if pressed), a freeware
little program called FileList, and best of all a shareware/commercial
program call D'Librarian.
Filelist version 1.3 is in the Sumex archives. If there is enough

I'm looking for a very simple dialer DA or application to use with the
a version of NCSA Telnet hacked to support SLIP.
Requirements are:
- Allows user to set baud rate
- Allows setting of parity, stop bits, data bits or assumes 8N1
- Allows user to enter at least one phone number
- Remembers settings
- When launched it should dial the number, wait for a connect, and then send
a Return character (some systems need this), and then quit and release
the serial port (but not hang up the modem)
- Must work on all Macs from Plus to FX
- Must be PD or freeware
I've tried QDial and AutoDialer. Neither is really satisfactory for
this purpose.

Re: J. 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:

I've a question for the info-mac community regarding Mac II family
accelerators:
Is anyone out there using some of the 68030 accelerators for the Mac II?
Any what kind of performance/problems are you incurring? Problems with
CD drives? floppies? 32bit QuickDraw? support? life?
I'm currently running a MacII with the SuperDrive upgrade (IIx roms),
Mac II video card (8bit), CD Technologies PortaDrive (great!), 8Mb RAM,
68882 FPU (its a little faster), PMMU, and a Dove MaraThon Racer
(cache card...performance is *about* that of a IIx, sometimes better.)
I've gone thru the review in MacUser (August 1990 issue), and am now
wondering about real-world experiences.
Please respond directly to me (contr003@monmouth-emh2.army.mil) or to
info-mac if you can't reach me.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: MaraThon, .Z files, and ResEdit
Fellow Netters:
I have three questions that I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with.
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?)

Install the AIR (Apple Internet Router) or Farallon Liaison software on your
Mac2cx and then set the prefered network connection for your mac as the
ethernet port. The Mac2cx will be able to access all LocalTalk services and
access all ethernet services (AppleTalk, TCP/IP, DECnet, whatever).

Re> No Desktop file & no room to put it??
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.)

Subject: No Desktop file & no room to put it??
If you run under Finder, and enter a program (MS Word for example)
which doesn't require constant disk access, you can open the disk
there (if the only problem is the desktop file). 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).
Good luck!

Subject: SAM Intercept Updater
Hi Folks,
With new viruses popping up what seems like everyday, it's been a constant war
to keep our lab equipment bug free. 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
