       The tests that _s_._n_o_r_m_a_l performs are indexed  below.   The
       tests that are performed are specified by giving an index,
       ranges of indices, or multiple thereof.

	       Sample skewness and kurtosis

	       Geary's	a-statistic  and  an  approximate  normal
	      transformation

	       Extreme normal deviates

	       D'Agostino's D-statistic

	       Modified Kuiper V-statistic

	       Modified Watson U^2-statistic

	       Durbin's Exact Test (modified Kolmogorov)

	       Modified Anderson-Darling statistic

	       Modified Cramer-Von Mises W^2-statistic

	       Kolmogorov-Smirnov  D-statistic (modified for nor-
	      mality testing)

	       Chi-Square  test  statistic   (equal   probability
	      classes) and the number of degrees of freedom

	       Shapiro-Wilk W Test

	       Weisberg-Binghams  W''  (similar  to Shapiro-Fran-
	      cia's W')

	       Royston's extension of W for large samples
