LazStats - A new statistics package

[wgmiller]

I have converted a previous Delphi program to Lazarus.  It currently is only compiled for Windows and can be obtained at:
http://statpages.org/miller/LazStats
I do not have Linux or other platforms to attempt to compile it for these other platforms.  If any of you are willing, I would appreciate your participation.

Impressive work!

To develop for Linux, you can install VirtualBox for Windows as host and Linux Ubuntu as client. They are both available free of charge.

I had a quick try on Mc OS X: The windows unit is not available. According to this part of the lazarus wiki conversion page:

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Code_Conversion_Guide#Converting_Delphi_projects.2Fforms.2Funits_to_Lazarus

I replaced the windows unit by LCLIntf.

Also, the case sensitivity of the filesystem gives problems. BLKANOVAUNIT.lrs and many more .lrs files. After correcting them i could get the program to start. As usual, the positions of texts and boxes need adjustments. Still some more warnings and stuff, but good enough for a screen shot.

Fantastic. OpenStat is a terrific tool. LazStats looks great. This looks like a very mature conversion - you already have the graphs and charts looking great.

You may wish to follow the suggestions in this thread http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,6244.0.html to minimize the size of your executable (I got around 4.2 MB on win32 and 5.4 MB on lnx32).

Please consider adding LazStats to the Lazarus application gallery http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Application_Gallery (BTW, perhaps the Lazarus and FPC galleries should be merged).

Chris Rorden has compiled versions for Linux (32 bit and 64 bit) as well as Mac OSX.  He also "cleaned up" the code and made valuable suggestions.  You can download these at
