Details are presented from a coupled channel analysis of Crystal Barrel data on [ital [bar p]p][r arrow]3[pi][sup 0], [eta][eta][pi][sup 0], and [eta][pi][sup 0][pi][sup 0] at rest, together with the [pi][pi] [ital S]-wave phase shift up to 1.2 GeV. The annihilation data were well fitted with a pure [sup 1][ital S][sub 0] initial state using consistent parameters for resonances in all channels. The annihilation data require two [ital I]=0, [ital J][sup [ital P][ital C]]=0[sup ++] resonances with masses and widths [ital M], [Gamma] where [ital M][sub 1]=1340[plus minus]40 MeV, [Gamma]=255[sub [minus]40][sup +60] MeV and [ital M][sub 2]=1505[plus minus]20 MeV, [Gamma][sub 2]=150[plus minus]20 MeV; the [eta][pi][sup 0][pi][sup 0] data require an [ital I]=1, [ital J][sup [ital P][ital C]]=0[sup ++] resonance with [ital M][sub 3]=1435[plus minus]40 MeV and [Gamma][sub 3]=270[plus minus]40 MeV. The [ital a][sub 0](980) is fitted with a Flatte form with [ital M]=999[plus minus]5 MeV, [ital g][sub [eta][pi]]=221[plus minus]20 MeV, and [ital r]=[ital g][sub [ital K][ital K]]/[ital g][sub [eta][pi]]=1.16[plus minus]0.18. The [eta][pi][pi] data suggest a significantly larger width, [Gamma]=75 MeV, for [ital f][sub 0](975) than earlier data. They also require an appreciable [eta][pi] [ital P] wave, which shows weak phase variation and is therefore probably nonresonant.
