    • PAL-2.0.6 for Windows (64-bit)<\/li>\n
    • PAW-2.0.36 for Linux<\/li>\n
    • PAx-2.0.36 (32 bit)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Download the PAW package corresponding with your PAW operating system: Linux or Windows 2016. Please note that PAW is optimized for Linux, therefore QueBIT strongly endorses Linux as the PAW OS of choice.<\/p>\n

      Prior to selecting a PAx package, determine your Microsoft Excel version: 32-bit or 64-bit. To identify the Microsoft Excel version, access File -> Account -> About Microsoft Excel.<\/p>\n
