Manual for psimpoll and pscomb
Preface
This is the manual for psimpoll and pscomb, computer programs
for the production
of diagrams displaying pollen and other stratigraphical data to a
standard acceptable as camera-ready copy for publication, with all
the features that would be expected in a hand-drawn diagram. It assumes only
that you have access to a computer (which may be of any make or operating
system), you are basically familiar with the process of
manipulating files with a text editor, you have access to an output device
with a PostScript interpreter, and you have some data that
you wish to plot.
This manual describes psimpoll 4.25 and pscomb 1.03. Development
of psimpoll from earlier versions has been as follows, in summary:
- 4.25
- Addition of local regression fitting for age-depth models;
- 4.10
- Addition of facility to handle calibrated radiocarbon ages;
- 3.10
- Addition of correspondence analysis;
- 3.00
- Introduction of colour.
