EPS*Mover c= an read any portable EPS file (encapsulated PostScript=AE file) and convert its preview into the proper format for the target platform you designate. For example, you may have a CD-ROM of EPS clip art that was created for use on PCs, but which you would like to use on a Macintosh. EPS*Mover can quickly convert the PC EPS files into equivalent Macintosh EPS files. EPS*Mover requires a Macintosh computer with a PowerPC processor (PowerMac, PowerBook, iMac, etc.) running System 7.0 or later. Because EPS*Mover contains only PowerPC native code, it will not run on older Macs using 68000 series processors. To install EPS*Mover, simply double-click the EPS*Mover=81 Installer icon, and follow the on-screen instructions. Pricing and registration details can be found in the package.

It allows to fit multinomial binary tree models of arbitrary size to frequency data using the "General Processing Tree" algorithm developed by Hu and Batchelder (1994). AppleTree can read model files and data files written for the MS-DOS "MBT" program developed by Xiangen Hu, University of Memphis, Tennessee. Multinomial models can be created with a built in graphical editor. Restrictions to the models can be added using a graphical interface. AppleTree fits model parameters to frequency data, it provides estimates for the free parameters together with confidence intervals, it provides power analyses for a given model, and it allows for checking the identifiability of a model. AppleTree is freeware. It runs natively on both 680x0 and PowerPC Macs. See for latest informations. Changes since version 1.2.1: * Graphical model editor * Power analysis * Generates expected data sets for a given model * MacOS 8.5 support (Appearance Manager, Navigation Services, proportional scrollbars, etc.) Requirements * MacOS 7.5 or later * Motorola 68020 or better (no FPU required) or any PowerPC.

There have been reports of rude errors on fast machines, but it's been rather stable. If it gives you any trouble, or says something rude to you, just pass it on to a friendly Mac user with a slower machine. Have fun with this little game, and try not to hurt anybody with it, okay?
