Kennedy/!Stats/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Help for Stats
~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~

To use Stats, simply create a textfile which contains a list of values. These should be laid out as follows :

<x>[;<f>]

where x is the value and f is the optional frequency (ie. so that if you have 200 threes, you only need to put 3;200)

Save this file, and then drag it onto the application. That's it!

All the information provided should be self explanatory.

Nick Kennedy.
