A sample of 830 neutrino induced l..mu.. events and 752 muonless events recorded in a prompt neutrino experiment at Fermilab was analyzed to yield the following results: i) 0.65 +/- 0.30 for the ratio of prompt anti nu/..mu../ to anti nu/..mu../ flux, ii) 1.0 +/- 0.3 for the ratio of prompt nu/sub e/ to anti nu/..mu../ flux for E/sub v/ > 30 GeV and iii) inclusive Danti-D production cross section sigma/D/sub anti-D/ = 16 +/- 3 (Stat.) +/- 3 (Sys), ..mu..b per nucleon assuming sigma/D/sub anti-D/ to be proportional to (1 - X/sub F/)/sup 3/ e/sup -2//sup P perpendicular/ and A/sup 1/ dependence.
