Microstat v2 Disk & Manual for the Microbee - ChickenMan - 19-05-2022
Thanks to Amy for making this disk available to be imaged. A standard Microbee 3.5" SS80 bootable disk that imaged error free.
Microstat v2.0 was written by Ecosoft, Inc. in 1981 and marketed by Lifeboat Associates.
Microstat consists of a library of statistical programs that
perform most common statistical tests and procedures. It was
developed for "real life" applications using fairly large data
sets. Computational algorithms were selected for accuracy and
speed. This manual describes the contents of Microstat, Release
2.0 and includes many new features.
The program was written for MBASIC and boots to this screen :
You need to use CAPITALS and if you select O to Terminate the program, it returns you to an MBASIC prompt. So use SYSTEM to return to CP/M (Shell). If you need to re-run the program, then use MBASIC MAIN to re-start the program.
An internet search eventually located a manual for this version. After a good cleanup, it was converted to a searchable PDF as usual.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Microbee/Software/Applications folder we placed
microstat_v2_ss80.dsk
microstat_v2_manual.pdf <-- in Microbee/Documentation/Manuals/Software folder
