Palstat is designed as a user-friendly statistical package for palaeontologists and palaeobiologists. It is self-contained, having its own filing system and routines for the analysis of data from a single taxon and from associations of taxa. The programs are designed to be easy to use and all files and programmes are selected from structured menus.
