J.P. Benzécri, from Foreword:
"Physics progresses, mainly, by constituting corpora of rare phenomena among immense sets of ordinary cases. The simple observation of one of these ordinary cases requires detection apparatus based on millions of small elementary detectors. Yet physics is, in part, a computational science, as evidenced by the conclusion of a paper on the theory of generalized zeta functions: "Our results are secure, numerically, yet appear very hard to prove by analysis". I repeat: the statistician has to be modest. The work of my generation has been exalting. A new statistical and data analysis is there to be invented, now that one has inexpensive means of computation that could not be dreamed of just thirty years ago."

Some of the programs, especially the R and C ones, are in ascii text. Some others are binary (e.g. the clustering DLL program, and the Java class files). The Java code and the data sets are collected together in tar files, to be extracted using WinZIP or tar or some similar utility.
