FYI:

There are two versions of OMNIGRID available, depending on what kind of
machine you wish to run it on.

OMNIGRID 3.0 (the Macintosh version) requires HyperCard 2.0 and about 2 mg.
of memory. It has been fully documented and the on-line help system has
been implemented. If you are interested in obtaining a copy, please send me
the appropriate disk(s), one for the program and another one for the
manual, if you want it). Alternatively, I could e-mail all of it to you (if
you have BINHEX or equivalent).

OMNIGRID-PC, an MS DOS version, can be obtained directly from Dr. Ken
Sewell, Department of Psychology, University of North Texas, Denton, TX
76203 [sewellk@unt.edu], probably on a, more or less, cost recovery basis.

All versions of OMNIGRID are currently in the public domain, and further
information about them can be found in the following publications:
