Introduction
To Splus 5

Introduction to Splus, version 5

Splus is a powerful package for statistical data analysis, programming, and graphics.

These web-notes will give you a simple start to the package, and your lecturers and supervisors will be able to help you with specific applications.

Splus can be run from the unix command line:

unixc.lancs.ac.uk% Splus
S-PLUS : Copyright (c) 1988, 1999 MathSoft, Inc.
S : Copyright Lucent Technologies, Inc.
Version 5.1 Release 1 for Sun SPARC, SunOS 5.5 : 1999 
Working data will be in /home/ufs1/41/rowlings/MySwork 
>

You quit Splus by typing q() at the prompt.

However, it is much better to run Splus from within the emacs editor. This adds all sorts of features to make life easier and I strongly recommend it.

If you have never used emacs before, read a short emacs tutorial.
