6-20-89 ORIGINAL RELEASE KWIKSTAT 2.00
1. The file HKS.BAT on disk is a batch file that can be used
for beginning KWIKSTAT on a computer with a Hercules type
(Monochrome graphics) monitor. It issues the QBHERC
command. You still have to use setup in the Utilities module
to tell the program you are using a Hercules type monitor.
If you are using a program such as SIMCGA to make your
Hercules (mono-graphics) monitor "think" it is a CGA
monitor, set up KWIKSTAT as if you were using a CGA monitor.
DO NOT tell it you are using a Hercules type monitor under
these circumstances.
2. Depending on your type computer, you may have to use DOS
3.0 or higher, else some KWIKSTAT programs will not run.
3. For those having problems printing graphics screens, or
are using Laserjet or Paintjet, print the file PRINTERS.DOC
on disk 2. It contains information about some alternate
printer routines to replace GRAPHICS.COM.
4. If you are loading KWIKSTAT in a subdirectory that had a
previous version of KWIKSTAT, all of your data from the old
version will be readable by the new version with no
problems. To save space on your disk, erase the old
Kwikstat programs - DATA.EXE, UTIL.EXE, LIFE.EXE and
STAT*.EXE.
5. KWIKSTAT programs can be run directly from within dBASE.
You need to have the KSMENU.INI and KSTAT.INI files in the
directory from which you are running dBASE. To run a module
from dBASE, use the RUN command. For example, to run the
Analysis of Variance module (KS20AOV1), you would use the
command
.RUN KS2SAOV1
at the dBASE III dot prompt. You must have a computer
with sufficient RAM memory to do this, or the program may
not be able to run.
6. Although not mentioned in the manual, there are
predictive (forecasting) routines in the simple and multiple
linear regression modules. These allow you to make
predictions from the linear regression equations calculated
in the program.
