ABSTRACT

This section mal<es some brief remarks on computer software for carrying out time-series analysis. A \vide variety of packages is nmv available, but there is little point in providing detailed information on them, as such information will date rapidly. The fast-changing nature of the computing world means that ne\v par;kages, and new versions of existing packages, continue to come out at everdecreasing intervals. Thus we limit ourselves to some general remarks on good soft,vare, some general cautionary remarks and a listing of some important packages.
