[net.math.stat] SAS on Unix?

dave@uwmcsd1.UUCP (Dave Rasmussen) (09/11/85)

There has been growing interest on our campus among statisticians to be able
to use SAS, a statistical package. From my understanding of SAS, you either
need a moderately configured mainframe (an IBM 43xx series, for example) for
alot of $$, or you can get a micro version, which probably will not handle
large data sets gracefully.

My question is, does anyone know if this package is available for say, a
Unix mini of some sort?

 I just called SAS, and they do not have a version of SAS for unix, nor do
they have it on their list of stuff they have in development.  They have
had a number of requests for a unix version.
 If you want to enquire further  SAS is at  919 467 8000 and ask for Software
Sales.
