This is a very straight-forward OS/2 port for the MacAnova statistical 
analysis package. To run the pre-built binary, you'll need the EMX
runtime. I've tested the port with the test files supplied with the
original source and the results are just fine. The plot functions are
not very easy to use--the default output format is for the Tek terminal
--but Postscript output is possible with additional parameters.

You may want to set the HOME environment variable to point to your 
'home' directory where you can put a '.macanova.ini' file (note the
initial dot). A sample INI file is located at the auxfiles4.07.3 
subdirectory.

The home page of MacAnova is 

	http://www.stat.umn.edu/~gary/macanova/macanova.home.html.

Documentation files can be downloaded from there.

Building instructions follow.

Prerequistics:
1. GNU make, file, shell, text utilities.
2. GNU realine library. It's available at

	ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/gnu/devtools/gnureadl.zip

3. Ash to run a small script. Also from LEO:

	ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/shells/ashos2.zip
	
4. And of course, the EMX/gcc developement environment.

Steps:
1. Download the source files to a directory, say x:\macanova.
2. Unzip the file gnureadl.zip into a subdirectory named readline-2.2, 
   i.e., x:\macanova\readline-2.2.
3. Unzip the patched source files macanova.zip in the x:\macanova 
   directory.
4. cd to macanova4.07.3 and run 'make macanova'.
5. Use emxbind to make an executable: 'emxbind macanova'

Note that the makefile only works for the a.out format.

Enjoy it!
