FIX (Feature Information Xfer) is a set of programs designed to facilitate
analysis of confusion matrices by both ordinary and sequential information
transfer analysis (SINFA - Wang & Bilger, 1973, JASA, 54[5] 1248-1266). 

The programs may be menu-driven, or run as stand-alone modules. These
executables run under MS-DOS on an IBM PC or clone. The programs have also
been used (many years ago!) under UNIX on a MASSCOMP 5/6000 series computer.
Source code may be made available for users with special needs. 

Also available are a number of DOS utilities that can be associated with
FIX. These were developed before computerised testing was readily available,
so probably are of less interest now.

SCORE takes the trial-by-trial results of an identification experiment
and makes a confusion matrix suitable for FIX. SCORE does much more than
this, however, and is a general purpose program for the analysis of
categorization experiments (e.g., to construct an identification function
resulting from responses to a speech continuum). TALLY and PRCNTIZE work
with SCORE. TALLY allows multiple response matrices to be summed together
whereas PRCNTIZE concerts matrices from numbers of observations to
percentages.

Note that these are all DOS programs which must run in a command window,
so no dragging and dropping, among other things.

INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------------

Unzip the archive and put all files in a directory C:\FIX (any drive should work, 
but I make no promises!), and ensure that this directory is in your pathname
(through your autoexec.bat file) if you want to work in another directory.
I believe FIX will not run satisfactorily as a sub-directory.

'new_fix.doc' is a an extensive Word document all about this software. File
'fx' contains some test data to get you going.
