By popular demand, my |STAT package is now available on the internet.
|STAT runs on UNIX and DOS systems and provides about 30 programs
for data manipulation and analysis.  Further information is available
directly from me.

|STAT is available via anonymous ftp in pub/stat at:
	ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu (128.146.8.52)
The file:
	stat.tar.Z.crypt.uu
is the uuencoded, encrypted, compressed, tar archive of the package.
To unpack the archive, you need uudecode, crypt, uncompress, and tar.
To ensure that the distribution restrictions on |STAT are maintained,
a password has been attached to the archive.
To obtain the password from me, you must send me a message with:
	I AGREE TO ADHERE TO THE CONDITIONS OF USING |STAT.
	I AGREE THAT I WILL NOT SHARE THE |STAT PASSWORD WITH OTHERS.
After obtaining the file, which you can also request from me via email,
you should run the following commands:
	uudecode < stat.tar.Z.crypt.uu
	crypt < stat.tar.Z.crypt > stat.tar.Z
	uncompress stat.tar.Z
	tar xvf stat.tar
You should then have a "stat" directory that will take up about a megabyte.
In the stat/src directory, you should make any necessary changes
to the "makefile" and then run "make" to build the package.
In addition to the online manuals, the file handbook.txt contains
a lineprinter version of the |STAT handbook.  The troff source to
the handbook is not yet structured enough for ftp distribution.
