From: Charles L. Jackson <CLJ @ MIT-MC> Last weekend I "broke" the display unit on my Compaq by executing the horizontal window command in VisiPlot! Compaq is aware of the bug -- and has sent a memo to field service units warning of problems running "PIGPEN" which also blows the display. While at ComputerLand getting repairs on the Compaq underway, I saw some 8087's in IBM boxes -- I wasn't aware that IBM was supplying 8087's but they are now. Anyone who is interested in statistics on the PC would be well advised to look at MICRO-TSP available from Mcgraw Hill. It's the only package we could find for the PC that allowed for correction to remove serial correlation in the residuals (important if you are into time series). The system is convenient and easy to use. It's copy protected but they give you two copies at the time of sale. regards chuck
