 Purpose: This is a course in which researchers will gain experience in
 doing statistical
data analyses using a UNIX computer. Experience will be obtained with
(1) the entering/editing of data, (2) transferring of files between
computers, and (3) analyzing data using SPSS, SAS, and MINITAB. The
statistical procedures to be used are exploratory analysis, regression
analysis, and analysis of variance. There will be some exposure to other
statistical packages and computing environments. Various useful UNIX
utility programs will be used.

       mkdir d1 del d1            rmdir d1 sas               sas
     NOTES: UNIX is case sensitive ; use '/', not '\' ; 'f1' + 'd1' are
     file + directory names (file
may have a path) ; be careful with use of '*'
