- Systat for Windows seems to have all the functionality of the DOS
- version. In fact, in many ways it seems as if it is just the DOS
- version running in a window. The stats results are scrolled in a
- window just like on a DOS screen. The graphics are identical to the
- DOS graphics; they don't even use the Windows fonts. It even draws
- the cluster diagrams with ASCII characters in a scrolling window
- rather than as a graphic.
-
- I haven't done a detailed comparison, but it seems as if all the
- analyses that are in the DOS version are in the Windows version.
- You can type commands and run command files just like in the DOS
- version. You can bypass these and use the menus and "QuickStat"
- buttons, but I'd say if you are used to the DOS version you'll feel
- quite at home with Systat for Windows. It has a few nice features,
- like you can click on a data point on a scattergram and that datum
- will be highlighted in the data editor, which you can have displayed
- beside the graph. You can also cut and paste between Systat and
- other Windows programs.
-
- If you use Windows for other things anyway it's worth getting. It's
- not worth changing to Windows just to use Systat for Windows, though.
