Paleonetters, I wish to announce the first beta release (and my first attempt at authoring) of a freeware Macintosh program to the paleo community. TaxDaddy is a taxonomic database and diversity analysis program for Macintosh computers. TaxDaddy can be used to keep track of all of your taxonomic data and can tailored to personal needs with many user defined fields for taxonomic names, ranges, distributions, synonymies, descriptions, etc... You can also incorporate scanned images or other pictures into your data records. TaxDaddy can do complex and/or/not searches. The program can calculate (and plot) taxonomic diversity, originations, and extinctions as well as their proportions and standard errors and survivorship curves. TaxDaddy can import and export data and graphics to/from spreadsheet or other database programs. Taxdaddy is now available on the infomac and umich archives or their mirrors and should shortly be available in the paleonet ftp archives. In a pinch, I could send the program (orthe HyperCard stack version) as an email attachment for those who don't have ftp access. -Chris +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Christopher A.
