Dear Morphometricians, A new version of my little NTS2CSV program for conversion of NTSYSpc files into CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files is available from my personal web page at http://www.maurobio.infobio.net/en/?Software. This is just a minor fix, to assure the program will now accept only rectangular data matrices (type 1 in NTSYSpc) as input. NTS2CSV is not able to process other kinds of NTSYSpc matrices (e.g., half-diagonal distance matrices) and would either crash or produce an empty output file when trying to read such matrices. Thanks to Paul Sanfilippo for pointing out this problem. I have also re-compiled the program using the multiplatform FreePascal 2.0 compiler (which is partially compatible with Borland Delphi), and the distribution package now includes a GNU/Linux executable, besides the Windows executable (and the full source code, of course). In principle, a Macintosh version can be produced by just recompiling the program in a Mac OS installation of FreePascal (I will do that when time allows). BTW, new versions of my MULTIVAR programs (LINDA, JACKIE, and MANTEL) are also available, from SUNY Morphometrics Web server. These versions are also just small fixes to support Microsoft HTML help files (and therefore made the programs more compatible with Windows Vista). Prof. Rohlf kindly made them available from the morphometrics software repository about a month ago, but I just forgot to post an announcement here (sorry). Hope this helps.
