A while ago I wrote down, and subsequently lost, the FTP address for a demo
version of Igor.
Anyone care to re-enlighten me? aTdHvAaNnKcSe.

I don't know the FTP address, but the email address of the company is: WaveMetrics@AppleLink.Apple.com I'm sure someone there would tell you the ftp site or send you a copy. BTW, I'm just a *very* satisfied customer; I love Igor, and Wavemetrics is very responsive to questions via email... John Boswell Dept. of Chemistry Dartmouth College

This is from Melissa Hines original posting on the subject: The Igor demo is archived on d31rz0.stanford.edu. You may get this file via ftp anonymous.

You can get help after you are logged in by typing "help". Please note that the files are VERY LARGE, on the order of one megabyte each. The demo is very complete, and gives a good preview of a powerful program, but I wouldn't go to the trouble of "ftp'ing" it unless you have a real interest.

***** Igor Demo available by ftp anonymous *****
"Igor is a powerful, integrated graphing and data analysis environment
developed specifically for the Macintosh computer. It combines the
familiar Macintosh user interface with an efficient command line
interface, allowing you to graph, inspect and analyze your data with
uncommon speed and power. We developed Igor to be consistent, fast
and flexible and to produce high quality graphic output."
-- Igor Manual
As many people who read comp.sys.mac.xxx know, Igor has gained a very
strong following among scientists (and others) on the network. It is
a *very* fast and *very* powerful data analysis and graphing package
for the Macintosh. Among its built in functions are:
curve fitting to built-in and user-defined functions
Fourier transforms
histograms
integration, differentiation
smoothing
sorting
flexible waveform arithmetic.
Igor also has a very powerful macro language that allows you to
automate anything it can do. If you are considering the purchase of a
graphing package (such as KaleidaGraph, DeltaGraph, Cricket Graph,
etc.) or are using a spreadsheet or similar application to do
graphing, you should check out the Igor demo.
I have posted a number of articles championing it, so here is your
chance to try it out. The Igor demo is fully functional _except_ you
can not save. Included is a Guided Tour of Igor file that will
demonstrate some of the power of Igor.
The Igor demo is archived on d31rz0.stanford.edu. You may get this
file via ftp anonymous. On most mainframes, enter "ftp
d31rz0.stanford.edu". You must use the username "anonymous" and any
password. The files are in /Igor/Igor_demos and are:
Igor_demo_installer.hqx
Igor_extras_demo_installer.hqx
More information on the contents of these files is in /Igor in the
file 00Abstracts.txt. You can get help after you are logged in by
typing "help".

Ok, i've played with the demo enough to be impressed but I think they disabled one too many features. I need to know that I will be able to export graphics to other graphics packages. The manual says that some features, such as hairlines and dashed lines may not be supported by some other programs. Well, what programs support these things? One other thing. Could someone send me 1 piece of legal size paper so that I can properly print the tips sheet. :-) :-) -- -george george@mech.seas.upenn.edu
