	EQS FOR WINDOWS Already known for combining technical sophistication with ease of use, EQS for Windows makes structural equations modeling even easier with Diagrammer, EQS' new model drawing tool. Make just a few clicks on the mouse and you can draw a diagram. Once your model is drawn, choose Build EQS from the scroll-down menu and EQS runs your model based on the diagram. Use of command language is no longer necessary! When you are ready to present results, simply print the diagram directly or cut and paste into your favorite word processor for final production.
