You don't need to know about every Winsteps option in order to use the program successfully. Glance through the examples and find one similar to yours. Adapt the example to match your requirements. Then "fine tune" your analysis as you become familiar with further options.

 

Most of this Guide is in proportionately-spaced type.

 

When it is important to be precise about blanks or

spaces, or about

column alignment,

fixed-space type is used.

 

When it is important to show everything that appears on a long line, small type is used.

An Ode from a user:

Winsteps

 

This is a program that's much alive,

With scores and maps, and curves Ogive,

Persons and items to separate,

Giving results that do relate.

 

Although we love what Winsteps does,

Some problems make us Yelp!

But if we give John Michael a buzz,

He is always there to help!
