A program for IBM-compatible microcomputers is introduced which combines several complementary analyses of species-station-tables generated in ecological field investigations. The scope of the program encompasses table editing functions, routines for community delimitation by cluster analysis and procedures for the analysis of properties related both to stations (e.g. diversities) and species (e.g. abundance statistics and association indices). The essential reasoning behind the application of community studies is presented briefly, as well as the multi-step analytical approach implemented in the program.
