    We will be using the Arc package. The Arc homepage is www.stat.umn.edu/arc/. Instructions for getting your own copy of the package for your Mac or Windows machine are available here.

    There is a file called updates.lsp that fixes bugs in Arc as they are discovered. From time to time you might need to download a new version of the updates.lsp file from the Arc home page and place it in your Extras folder. Instructions are available by following the link "Get the update file for Arc" on the Arc page.

    A package is available for installing Arc on Macs with (a) intel processors, (b) system 10.5 or later and (c) X windows. X windows usually comes with the Mac but may not be installed. After installing Arc, open an X window and type arc. The interface for Arc is a little different than on other machines, but the functionality is the same.
