  • StatXact.procs 6.2 
    StatXact provides exact solutions for important nonparametric statistical problems involving binary, categorical and continuous data. Because the procedures are exact, they remain valid even for small, sparse and unbalanced data sets. In addition, we've provided tools for you to construct your own exact procedures, or to combine two or more procedures in an optimal fashion through a suitable choice of scores. When it comes to handling small-sample data, no other statistical package can even come close to the power and scope of StatXact.

How To

 


Unix Commands/Postscript Printing

HOW TO: Print PostScript files in UNIX from an NT Machine # file:
phs/local/doc/HOW2_postscript_print.txt
* NOTE: Remember: UNIX is casE-sensiIive!

 

-telnet to rc
-login, password
-from the command-line:

 

 

rc # pwd
rc # /home/myhome

 

Make sure you're at home

rc # tcsh Gives us doskey-like functionality:
-prompt changes to ">"
-arrow keys for command-line
-backspace key to edit command-line
-command-line completion with tab key

rc > ls -la | more

 

Should see all your dirs plus hidden (-a) files

rc > cd StuffDir/MyStuff

 

*.ps files in /home/myhome/StuffDir/MyStuff

rc > lp filename.ps

 

Prints PostScript files to the default UNIX printer

rc > lpstat

 

Gives you the status of your print-job
rc > exit Issue this command *twice* when finished with your session
rc # exit  

 


Unix Commands/Standard Printing

HOW TO: Print standard files in UNIX from an NT Machine file:
/phs/local/doc/HOW2_standard_print.txt
* REMEMBER: UNIX is Case SEnsitive!

 

rc # tcsh

Think of it as "turbo" csh

 

rc >

Changes default prompt to this
We want to print a file we think is named "ralph" something

 

rc > du -a | grep -i ralph

rc > /Docs/Oldstuff/VeryOldStuff/ralphsOldFile.lst
.Ralph.doc

  Finds 2 instances of "ralph" - verify the correct one, and then print it:
rc > cd Docs/Oldstuff/VeryOldStuff/  

rc > ls -l ralph*
-rw-r----- 1 athiel staff 1377 Nov 28 11:29 ralphsOldFile.lst

 

 

rc > printer ralphsOldFile.lst

 

 

rc > lpstat /* Check on progress of print job

 

 

rc > hp5-206 chuckb.phs.wfubmc.edu!athiel 4142484 Nov 29 07:33

 

 
rc > Give the "exit" command twice to quit session
rc > exit  
rc # exit
