Subject:      power for repeated measures/split plot designs

I am interested in software that will do power analyses for repeated
measures designs(behavioral science language) or split plot and
split-split plot designs.
Programs can be either PC or mainframe.  Our mainframe is a VAX
configuration v5.1.  Our sas software does NOT include IML.

Subject:      Splus File Formats?

Cheers :

  I frequently have to create multidimensional contingeny tables from
  fairly large survey data files. What I wanna do now is to get these
  tables into Splus (for DOS) in the form of data frames so that I can
  for instance, fit loglinear models. I realize one way to do this
  would be to dump the contingency table to an ascii file that would
  later be read into S via the read.table() function. The resulting S
  data frame would of course then be stored as a disk file in the _data
  directory. If I knew the format of this disk file, I would be able to
  have my program write the Splus data frame file directly. Although I
  realize that this knowledge won't end world hunger, it would make
  things more convenient (well, for me at least). So, I would like to
  know if the file format Splus uses for storing data frames
  (or any Splus object I guess) on disk is available somewhere. Any
  information or suggestions would be appreciated.

  Thanks for reading this far.

Pirie is, of course, correct; substracting two Chi Square values to

Subject:      dropping contact with cd

I have small network (4 stations going on 5) in the library.  It is also
connected to the campus LAN allowing access to four users.  There is
another connection to the school district as well.

The network is running on Novell 2.2.  It has CD NET and a Meridian
tower holding 11 CDs.  We are using the CD NET menu.  We are also
running Saber Meter for statistics.

My problem is that the Silver Platter products keep dropping out.
An error message asks to insert the CD.  Turning the workstation
off and back on corrects the problem, but this is less than acceptable.

The other databases on the system do not have this problem.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  (Plus if you get
this one right, I'll ask about my really hard problems.)

MORNING SESSION

These are full-day workshops which cover the basics of Local-Area-
Networking of CD-ROMs and system designs in the morning.  A detailed
overview of MSCDEX and ISO 9660 is reviewed, along with CD-ROM device
driver technology.  The instructor, Howard McQueen, will demonstrate
a 386-based LAN and discuss server caching, SCSI technology, menuing,
usage-tracking, application metering and application inactivity
management.  SCSI Express, OPTI-NET, CD NET, CD Connection, CD
Networker and other CD-ROM networking solutions will be discussed.
LANtastic, Netware (2.x and 3.x), Banyan Vines, OS/2, 3COM and other NOSs wi
[D

Network operting system solutions will be discussed.


AFTERNOON SESSION

The afternoon session covers analog dial-access technologies, including
remote control and remote client solutions.  Howard has assisted a number
oof Government, public, university and corporate institutions create
WAN access.  The second part of the afternoon centers around enterprise-
wide access to CD-ROM information.  This section focuses on networking
designs that enfranchise MS-DOS/Windows, Macintosh and Unix users with
access to the enormous wealth of MS-DOS CD-ROM databases.

Howard will present system designs that provide TCP/IP compliance over
carefully regulated backbones.  Issues relating to migrating data from
CD-ROM to magnetic will be discussed, along with several successful case
studies.

Finally, networked optical jukeboxes will be discussed as a means to
deliver images to users.  Howard will also position multi-media and the
issues associated with providing interactive motion video and sound over
todays networks.

Subject:      RE: Access via TCP-IP

  Steve~[[A has hit on one of the increasingly important issues in cd-rom
networking.  As networking on the LAN has become standard stuff sharing
resources over the campus network or WAN has become more important.  The
~[[Aproblem in this area has always been how to share the (usually) DOS based
retrieval software amongst a wide variety of computer platforms as well as
sharing the actual data files.

  The short answer are options like Virtual Systems V-Server and
Logicraft's products.  These have been the traditional ways of providing
"campus" access to DOS based CD-ROMs.  In the past year or two new options
are starting to appear.  DEC's InfoServer is one development that springs
to mind.  There is also the development of DOS based Telnet Server software
that allows any telnet capable machine (normally using VT100 emulation) to
access a DOS host.  One example of this type of software is a package
callled Everywhere Access which I have posted about before to this list.

  The networking field is developing rapidly.  There are options to solve
the DOS CD-ROM network access problems.  Which is best depends upon your
situation.   Looking through some of the CDROMLAN archives would give a
good overview of the main options.

At PSU Libraries, we use a menu package called NetMenu (by NET Inc). So far,
the menu system has done everything we've asked, from network user menus to
public CD-ROM menus. In the last InfoWorld review, it received the highest
score (better than Sabre). One very nice feature is that the control file used
for the menu is a plain text file. It does not need to be complied or
processed. You can make instant, global changes to the menu structure without
taking down the menuing system.

The developers are very responsive to modifications. In fact, when I call their
tech support, I often get the main developer to speak to me.

Anyway, here's the address

NET Inc
PO Box 271105
Houston, TX 77277-1105
(713) 974-1810

PS. They license on a per server basis, not per user. It's a snap to keep track
of licenses.
