It does everything that InStat does (except multiple regression) and much more.

GraphPad InStat was written for the PPC chip.
OS LION SERIAL NUMBER
Write to us with your Prism 4 serial number (or any details/names from your order so we can track it down) and we'll help you purchase an upgrade to Prism 6. However, Lion shipped without Rosetta, so Prism 4 will not run. It worked perfectly, without getting in the way. This let programs written for PPC chips run on Macs with Intel chips. It ran fine under Leopard and Snow Leopard due to a feature that Apple created called Rosetta. GraphPad Prism 4 was written for the PowerPC (PPC) chip. If you don't want to change this preference (which would, of course, apply to all applications), an alternative would be to turn off the navigator completely and navigate using the bottom toolbar. Then drop the Apple menu, choose System Preferences, go to the General Preference pane, locate the choice "Show scroll bars" and choose "Always". This can be fixed by changing a choice in System Preferences. When you drag the navigator to be wider, you may see a vertical white bar obscuring some of the sheet names.The only work around is to not use hooked analysis constants with Prism 5 and Lion. In fact, all subsequent recalculations appear to hang until the user relaunches Prism. If you change the data, the first analysis updates, but the hooked analysis constant does not, so the second analysis is not updated. If you hook an analysis constant to any analysis parameter dialog, the link is not "live" as it should be.A work around for this issue is to open the image file in Preview and resave the image without the alpha channel (Preview offers an option to save the image without the alpha channel) or save the image in another file format. This is only an issue for images that are created with the alpha channel. If this is the case, a large red 'X' will appear in place of the the missing image. If you save a Prism file that has a PNG or TIFF image in it, the image may be unreadable when the file is reopened.
OS LION UPDATE
These issues have been corrected in Prism 6 and in 5.0f (a free update to Prism 5 owners). Below are a list of known issues with earlier releases Prism 5 and Lion. The last release of GraphPad Prism 5 (5.0f) runs fine under Lion, but does not take advantage of new Lion features such as Full screen, Versions, Autosave, Resume, and Character Picker.
