     <h3>Downloads (see Download page for recent binaries)<a name="Download"></a></h3> Version 0.98p0 is similar
     to earlier versions with, hopefully, less bugs. Version 0.98q0 has
 <br>$Id$<br>    one main advantage and one main disadvantage:
 <!--  $State$    <ul>
       <li> If version 0.98q0 is run after version 0.98p0, ie using the
       estimated parameter file (the imach file which first letter is 'r'
       contains this estimated parameters, change mle=0 to mle=1), this
       new run could give more accurate results because an error in a
       routine of Numerical Recipes in C did not give the correct
       minimal). This program can also be used when the stepm value is
       reduced up to 1 (there are more chances to get a convergence with
       one month if you already got convergence for a larger stepm).
         
       <li> Version 0.98p0 has more chance to converge with starting
        values equal to 0 than version 0.98q0 which diverges even with
         the sample imach parameter file provided with the installer!
       <li> Differences between versions will be discussed at next

   <h2>IMaCh Wiki</h2> As discussed at the REVES meeting

   we created a Wiki for IMaCh were people having used IMaCh (or having
   not been able to use it because of obscure or unadequate features) can
   add tips and discuss various aspects of IMaCh and interface with other
   statistical softwares. In many aspects, our "official documentation"
   is not accurate enough.
   
   <p> Wikis are a promising way to give information closer to your
