Dear Chris, I'm through the TREE manual now. Here are final observations:

I'm not sure if I should expect to get absolutely identical results to the results you report for the comparison of different software packages. On p. 69, The means and sd and Model fit statistics are all identical, but ESS ...

I did upgrade from openbugs 3.21 to 3.22, and changed the settings tab accordingly. I am on page 70 of the beginner's manual. At this point, however, I get a somewhat different screen than shown by the manual. See attached snapshot of the screen I get. Specifically, I get a field called Explanatory ...

I updated Google Chrome and now the scroll bars work as intended. With the other changes, I have now replicated up to p. 69 of the beginner's manual.

1. OK on ^ vs *. It was hard to read.
2. I turned on expression optimization. I do not recall turning it off. I had gone into settings to indicate where the various programs were on my c: drive, and perhaps I somehow inadvertently changed it then. I will check if this solves the numerical results ...

Here are the other two. The p 66 snapshot shows what seems to be identical choices as the two screen snapshots on p 66 of the manual. The Model.txt snapshot shows what seems to be identical model text on the top snapshot of p. 67 of the manual. However, the tau_u.xml snapshot shows a different model ...

I'm now into the bang1 example that goes through p 69 of the beginner's manual. I'm getting different results. I've got five snapshots to send you, three attached. Back in a sec. Will

So far Google Chrome is working fine. I'll continue and report what happens.

In the screen snapshot on p. 65 of the beginners manual, middle snapshot shows expression age^age. That returns an error. But age*age works.

Chris, the fourth snapshot is attached. Will

Chris, I am using an HP 64bit PC. I am using IE 11.0.9600. Sequence is I start Stat-JR: TREE from the start menu, the dos screen opens, then IE opens. I move the cursor to either the dataset or template icon and left click, and that is when things stop. I have attached four snapshots: (a) dos screen ...

I have been working with Stat-JR:TREE successfully using the manual to learn it. However, sometimes on opening the program, and sometimes during the running of the program in the browser, I get "local host not responding" and things grind to a halt such that I usually have to start over. Any idea ...
