The warning asterisk schema for significance
levels has been revised:

p < ·05 * ·01 ** ·001
*** ·0001 **** ·00001 *****

..RL.. analyses has now been removed again and will, hopefully, not change
again (19-JUL-1996)

been deleted and the unknown ages guessed according to the standard diktat
-

modified to a more 'user-friendly' format: 0: normal (0+); otherwise, year
range, e.g. 0-0, 0-2, 2-4, 3, 5+ etc ... sorry about this, hope

Changes
to printing and graphics during 1995
-
LASER has now been upgraded to PostScript
on GRAFLP (and BLASER on POSTLP), retaining backwards compatibility with
the Canons (ALASER for CHOLLP, etc). It is not necessary to make
any changes to programs using GALAXY graphics.
-
BURGER has now been upgraded to PostScript
on GRAFLP (and BBURGER on POSTLP), retaining backwards compatibility with
the Canons (ABURGER for CHOLLP, etc). It is not necessary to make
any changes to programs using GALAXY print formatting
-
CBURGER and CLASER now work with the OVERLP
printer
Changes
to printing and graphics during 1996
-
ABURGER and ALASER have been switched to 'PostScript',
i.e.
goodbye Canon
-
DBURGER and DLASER now work with the MEGALP
printer
-
EBURGER and ELASER now work with the MEGALP2
printer

-
The *BURGER commands now have an option for
a ring-burst margin (include 'B' in the second parameter)
-
ABURGER and ALASER now work with the GIBSON

and V5:: is now dead - files R.I.P.
-
WARNING: extensive changes have been
made to CRC diktats:
