Hi everyone,

Thanks for your comments! :-)

Agreed, I'll put that on my TTD list - should be easy to do. :-)

I haven't looked in depth at VTT (but should have done): that's going on my 
TTD list as well. :-)

One recurring issue with stats is that people use different alphabets - for 
example, with/without spaces, with/without commas, with/without gaps, 
with/without line-endings, etc. One of my design aims was to try to make 
all those kind of implicit assumptions explicit (ie, to give each a checkbox).

For cross-browser compatibility, I only tested the current Internet 
Explorer (6.0.2800) and Netscape Navigator 4.8, which both seemed to work 
OK. I'm not using any fancy DHTML tricks, so can't think off-hand what 
would be causing Opera any problems - I'll try to have a look, though.

I may have misunderstood your last sentence, but try selecting a different 
results window (1-8) for each analysis pass you try - previous outputs 
should remain on screen unchanged.

Statistics can only be calculated relative to a model - get the model right 
and the stats should follow. :-)

Cheers, ....Nick Pelling.....
