Fractal Grafics
                                Load PGM0941

        Fractal Grafics is a drawing program.  As with any drawing program, you use
    the mouse and keyboard to create pictures on the screen from dots and lines, with full
    control over coloring and shading.  The images you design are limited only by your artistic
    skill and imagination. Fractal Grafics gives you a new, powerful drawing tool called a "fractal
    template".  You use the template to create complex shapes with rich detail, and assemble these
    shapes into eye-catching, colorful images.  With practice, you will be able to make pictures more
    realistic than anything you've ever created on a computer (or, more than likely, on paper).  Many
    of the most difficult things to draw with other programs (like plants, landscapes, and other flowing
    natural forms) can be drawn in great detail in seconds with a single "imprint" of a fractal template.

Fractint
                                Load PGM0942

        FRACTINT plots and manipulates images of "objects" -- actually, sets of mathematical
    points -- that have fractal dimension. They are generated by relatively simple calculations
    repeated over and over, feeding the results of each step back into the next -- something
    computers can do very rapidly. They are, quite literally, infinitely complex: they reveal more and
    more detail without limit as you plot smaller and smaller areas. Fractint lets you "zoom in" by
    positioning a small box and hitting to redraw the boxed area at full-screen size; its maximum
    linear "magnification" is over a trillionfold. They can be astonishingly beautiful, especially using
    PC color displays' ability to assign colors to selected points, and (with VGA displays or EGA in
    640x350x16 mode) to "animate" the images by quickly shifting those color assignments.

Fractkal
                                Load PGM0943

        FRACTKAL and FRACTK87 help you design and display slowly-changing  pictures on your
    computer screen. Each picture is symmetrical  top to bottom and left to right, like the patterns
    shown by a  kaleidoscope whose mirrors are set at 90 degrees. Each picture  is also
    symmetrical in a deeper, more subtle, sense. For each is  composed of up to four fractals -- figures
    that look much the  same at any level of magnification. These programs require an EGA graphics
    card, a color monitor a single floppy disk drive, and 192 kilobytes of random  access memory
    (more if you use terminate-and-stay-resident [TSR]  programs). FRACTK87 is identical with
    FRACTKAL, except that it  also requires an 8087 math co-processor.

        LSTSQR is a program designed to carry out a least-squares fit of data to one or more of
    several functional forms, including linear, polynomial,  logarithmic, exponential, and others
    found in science and engineering.  Among its features are 1) an unusually large number and
    variety of functional forms to which it will fit data, 2) the speed which comes from being a compiled
    program in Turbo Pascal, 3) the support of the 8087 math coprocessor in the case of LSTSQR87,
    4) a wide variety of measures of the quality of the fit  provided, including 95% confidence intervals,
    5) the capability of graphing the results of a fit, and 6) a high degree of interactive flexibility, which
    allows multiple fitting attempts for a given set of data with changes in data  points and fitting
    functional form between fitting attempts and the fitting of  an unlimited number of sets of data, all
    without leaving the program.

Mandelbrot and Julia Set

        MANDEL is a comprehensive program that generates and displays Mandelbrot and
    Julia sets, using VGA or EGA graphics. MANDEL autodetects the graphics hardware available
    and initializes the software for either VGA or EGA. The images produced are 480 pixels
    square in VGA mode and 480 x 350 in EGA, with a choice of 16 different  colors. Images are
    generated and then stored on disk and the colors for the various dwell values, assigned to each
    pixel, can be changed.  Standard color masks can be assigned and stored on disk for each
    image. Image files are automatically stored in compressed format and decompressed on retrieval,
    thereby saving disk space and improving speed.

        Mandelbrot Magic generates color displays ("slides") of the Mandelbrot Set and Julia
    Sets on IBM PC-compatible computers with color graphics adapters.  The Mandelbrot Set is
    perhaps the most famous of a fascinating group of mathematical structures known as
    fractals. Fractal geometry is a complicated mathematical field, but Mandelbrot Magic is easy to
    use and will automatically create spectacular slides when you specify a few simple parameters.
    The program also features different "animation" techniques which make the features in the slide
    appear to move.

        Mandelbrot Magic runs on any IBM PC or PS/2-compatible computer with a minimum of
    256k of memory, a color graphics adapter, a color monitor and a single floppy disk.  A hard disk
    is not required but is recommended because the files used by this program are quite large
    (up to 310 k). An 80*87 math coprocessor is not required, it is recommended. Mandelbrot Magic
    automatically detects and uses the coprocessor if one is installed.

Mandelbrot Zoomlens

The Stathelp Package
                            Load PGM0972

        There are three self-contained programs that together make up the
    STATHELP package.  They are:

        1. WATSTAT -- A computerized STATISTICAL CONSULTANT that advises
           you on what statistical procedures to use.  It first asks you a
           series of questions about your data, design, and analytical
           focus.  Then, it displays a report advising you on what
           descriptive statistics and significance tests are likely to
           meet your needs.  Optionally, this advisory report can be sent
           to your printer.  A tutorial is provided for first-time users
           and HELP WINDOWS can be popped up whenever you need assistance.

        2. LOOKUP -- A program that calculates probabilities ("p-values)
           for five different statistical tests: z, t, F, Chi-Square, and
           the Binomial.  LOOKUP replaces the tables found in the back of
           most statistics textbooks and is more extensive than most such
           tables.

        3. RANDO -- A program that generates several types of random
           numbers that can be used for random sampling, running
           simulations, randomly assigning experimental treatments, or
           even playing lotteries.  It generates: 1) Uniformly distributed
           integers ranging between user-specified minimum and maximum
           values; 2) Uniformly distributed decimals ranging from 0.0 to
           1.0; 3) Normally distributed numbers with Mean=0.0 and SD=1.0;
           4) Normally distributed numbers with any user-specified Mean
           and Standard Deviation; 5) random 1's and 0's with user-
           specified proportion of 1's; 6) randomized orders of integers
           from 1 to N, with maximum N=20; 7) "standard" lottery numbers,
           as used in "Lotto" games; and 8) "Pick N" lottery numbers,
           where numbers range from 0 to 9 and where duplications are
           allowed.  All random numbers are sent to a printer, so you must
           have a printer to use RANDO.

        All three STATHELP programs are menu-driven and provide help messages to guide
    every operation.  If you have an EGA or VGA monitor, menus and windows are displayed in a
