[net.misc] A survey for Statisics People

jcz@ncsu.UUCP (08/03/83)

	    SAS Institute Inc. is working on porting their
	products to several different machines and architectures
	I am curious about how many people on USENET would like
	to see these products run under UNIX(*).

	    For those of you who do not know what SAS is, it is
	a data analysis system.   It used to run only on big
	IBM machines, but the Institute is porting it to smaller
	machines.  The VAX VMS and (sic) DG AOS/VS versions are
	in alpha test.


	1. Would you be interested in SAS under UNIX?   Do you
	   do much statistical or data analysis?
	2. Are you a University, a private or corporate research
	   center, or a commercial center?
	3. What machine configurations support UNIX at your site?
	   (i.e. Processor type and memory size)
	4. Would you mind participating in a more detailed
	   survey? (If so, please include your US Mail address.)

					Thanks for your comments,

	You should see our newsite message in a few weeks, we just
	got an Apollo, and will get an LMC when it arrives.

* UNIX is a trade mark of Bell Laboratories, right.
