WinBASP

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WinBASP is a computer program that can run under MS Windows and is used in archeology in particular to calculate correspondence analyzes . The current version (2008) is version 5.43, which also runs under Windows Vista . The program was created in the 1970s under the direction of Irwin Scollar at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn, initially on a PDP11 and was called BASP “The Bonn Archaeological and Statistics Package”. In 1988 a version that ran on PCs under MS-DOS was released (BASP 4.1), which was used a lot (last version 4.5) and can now be obtained as freeware . Since the porting to Windows as version 5, the program is called WinBASP. Its special features are programming that enables the processing of extremely large data sets and a particularly user-friendly form of data entry and management.
