SchoolStat v2.04
by David Darby
popular user-friendly statistics application designed originally for schools and introductory statistics. It now sports a 3D interface (big deal!) and one-way ANOVA (including F test, and Kruskal Wallis), Kolmogorov-Smirnov, odds ratios, and sensitivity/specificity computations. The remaining algorithms have been recoded to improve speed. This is a shareware program containing interactive statistical software. It is designed primarily for schools (hence the name!), especially teachers who wish to show how probability distributions can be brought alive with Macintosh graphics. It goes much further though, and has a spreadsheet, sorting, arithmetic and mathematical transformations (including N scores), statistical tests and much more.  APPLICATION

DeadEnd v1.1.2
by Wolfgang Thaller
DeadEnd is a strategy game. It is your goal to find a path out of a dungeon by pushing massive blocks of stone out of your way. This is a very tricky task because the stones are so heavy that.you can move them only one by one, you need space to step back and take a run, and, you can only push, not pull. You have to develop a strategy and move the pieces in the correct order, otherwise the stones will block the way to the exit. A piece pushed to the wrong place could be an obstacle for removing another block from your path. At higher levels there will be blocks which can only be pushed into one direction.  GAME
