The clinical reporting system named Spectre can be downloaded
as four zip files. If you are creating an e-book on your PC or laptop then
create a directory "spectre" under your C: drive and create
two directories "macros" and "scripts" under
the
"spectre" directory. Unzip the files in the relevant directory after
you have downloaded them. Please note that most of the html pages have
web counter code embedded in the html (even if you do not see a counter
on the page) and when viewed on your PC or laptop as an e-book, these pages
will attempt to connect to the Internet. I do not know a way to prevent
this.
If you are installing Spectre on Unix or Linux then you will maybe only need the macros and scripts zip files (in which case download these to a directory of your own choosing) and will keep the documentation on the Internet. This is recommended as although the macros and scripts will have change freezes applied to them, this will not be the case for the html documentation. If you are installing Spectre on Unix or Linux then you will not need all the files in the macros and scripts zip files. The installation instructions give details on how to exclude those files.
Note: If you arrived at this page directly using a search engine such as Google then this may not be the "Spectre" you are looking for. There are a few software packages called "Spectre". The "Spectre" you can download below is to do with clinical trials reporting.

Clinical sas macros. Note that all the macros contain the following Copyright notice and disclaimer at the end of the header. Only download these macros and use them if you accept these terms.
From the start of 2012 then if you use these clinical reporting macros on real analysis of data then a licence fee will be payable per year per programmer (applicable sales tax to be added) of 10% of the individual sas license renewal fee for your country (this varies a lot. In Europe it is about €2000 for the relicensing fee and in China it is about €1110). I have to do this so I can afford to pay for a full SAS licence since they took away the SAS Learning Edition. Also, the time I put into the Clinical sas macros has become disproportionate (250 hours in 2011) and I can not continue to do the work unless my time is paid for. No licence is payable if you use these macros purely for educational use (even if just for your own educational benefit) or for demonstration purposes. Also, if you send these macros to a regulatory authority so that they can rerun your code to check the results, then the regulatory authority does not need a licence as they will just be repeating work already done.
For large organisations there is a discount on blocks of licences as follows.: 50=3.75 renewals, 100=5 renewals, 125=6.25 renewals, 150=7.5 renewals, 175=8.75 renewals etc. (applicable sales tax to be added). Suggestions as to new macro development from block licence holders will be welcomed. For CROs and pharmaceutical companies who require the clinical macros to be supported then the minimum block size is 50 and the incremental larger block sizes are as shown in bold in this paragraph.
It is possible that licence fees will have to be increased in the future without notice but existing licence holders (both individual and block licence holders) will be allowed to keep their old licence fee rates for their current individual user count or block size indefinitely.
(Note that RGPP is a separate product with a different charging
structure and requires a separate licence).
