Version 0.9 release 5 build 36

* Added or modified o A "select font" on first startup to guide the user for efficient setup of screen o Improved documentation of output formation o Table command can show categories defined as missing o New option controls if more than one instance of the programme can run o Aspects of handling missing value further implemented. o Parsing of strings changed to exclude trailing blanks: e.g "Lion " is the same as "Lion", but not the same as " Lion". o sorting of tables corrected o Tests of homegenity (interaction) in summary stratified 2x2 tables removed until final stable solution is found * Bugs fixed: o "Pointer error" in tables, graphs or describe fixed o Error in table estimates for 2x2 tables o Recnumber now returns number within current select o set listrec was not working

Remaining known major issues to settle before v1.0 * Tables must be included in txt formatted log files

Known major issues not settled or clarified * Relating files not tested fully * Appending in combination with records marked for deletion * Odds Ratios and RR in tables with Rare data (0 in cells) * Tests of homegenity (interaction) in summary stratified 2x2 tables removed until final stable solution is found

Known issues not fixed (put on future list) * Correlate command results in "floating point error" when correlate cannot be calculated * Contents of strings should be converted to UPPER in logical statements to work. e.g. count if upper(v) = "TEST" * Setting format (set number format) is not consistent

Kind regards
