Here are MacMul 4 and GraphMu 5, two programs for multivariate
statistical analysis (e.g., Principal Component Analysis) and graphical
display. These versions has been completely rewritten in C with Metrowerks
CodeWarrior C compiler. All the code comes from modules which are part of
the ADE package.

There are 3 versions, to be used according to the model of your Macintosh:

The "(68k NoFPU)" versions should be used on usual Macintosh without FPU
(Floating Point Unit, i.e., without the MC68881/68882 math co-processor).
Note that these versions can in fact be used on any model, including all
PowerBooks, Quadras and PowerMacs, but they will run more slowly.

The "(68k FPU)" versions should be used only on Macintosh having a FPU.
They will not run on other models. They run about 3 times faster than the
NoFPU version.

The "(PPC)" versions should be used only on PowerMacs. They will not run on
other models. They run about 10 times faster than the NoFPU versions on the
same PowerMac (using 68000 emulation).

You can use the TestMac application to choose which version you should use.
This is a fat binary application (i.e., it should run on any Macintosh)
that will tell you wich CPU and which FPU your Mac has.

In the Utils floder, you will find 4 utility applications:

ADEBin can be used to view the contents of binary files created by MacMul
(and by ADE modules). Clicking on a binary file will automatically launch
this application and display the contents of the file. You can also drag
and drop binary files on its icon.

ADEPict does the same thing for PICT files created by GraphMu 5 and ADE
modules.

ADETrans is a drag and drop only application that transforms a batch of
files from text to MacMul/ADE binary format and conversly.

ADEScatters is an interactive factor map application. It can be used to
draw factor maps (with the factor score files created by MacMul), and the
user can perform interactive operations (like zooming) with combinations
of mouse clics and keystrokes (sorry, no user manual yet).
