- Dear friend,
-
- The DADiSP package is being made available in demonstration form at
- major NeXT archive sites. Currently there have been two releases of
- DADiSP for the NeXT. The previous release, DADiSP version 2.01, is
- being superseded by the current release associated with this README
- file. This release is DADiSP version 3.00B.
-
- What does DADiSP provide for NeXT users? DADiSP offers an enormous
- range of data analysis and display functions for scientists and
- engineers. It is an interactive graphical worksheet within which you
- may manipulate your technical data in almost any way. DADiSP is
- particularly powerful in some specific areas:
-
- Automated analysis, including macros and command files.
- Customized analysis, featuring user-definable menus.
- Manipulation of large datasets (> 1 Meg).
- Filter design and applications.
- Provides analysis `templates' for re-usable worksheets.
- Provides spreadsheet associations between datasets.
- Provides hundreds of statistical, mathematical, and graphical
- data manipulation functions, macros, and menus.
-
- DADiSP Demo 3.0 is a fully working version of DADiSP except that it
- lacks the ability to save or load any user data. In addition, it
- comes with an automatic startup script which will step the user
- through various DADiSP examples. Note that you are free to use DADiSP
- functions to create and manipulate data in the demo version, though
- you will not be able to save your results.
-
- To install this package, first use ftp in binary mode to bring the
- package to your local machine. Un-tar the file by typing:
-
- tar xvf DADiSP.Demo.Version3.pkg.tar
-
- This will install a package called DADiSP.pkg in your current working
- directory. Locate this package in your File Viewer window and
- double-click on it to bring up the installer application. Follow the
- instructions provided with the Installer to install DADiSP on your
- machine.
-
- DADiSP requires about 2 Megabytes of disk space when fully installed,
- once the DADiSP.pkg directory has been removed.
-
- When DADiSP is installed, double-click on the DADiSP.app icon in the
- File Viewer to begin an automated demonstration of DADiSP.
-
