A program has been written to compute life tables with fittings to the Coale and Demeny West, and Weiss table survivorships for the purposes of comparison between populations. A graphics option allows for the plotting of the various life table functions, thus allowing for the immediate assessment of the patterns indicated by the life table columns.
