Apologies in advance for asking for something that I have seen
asked about before, but such is life... :-)
we are looking for a free or almost free statistics package
written in C and available in source format. We know about
AT & T's S package and the BSD Statistics package, but what
others are available????
In order not to bore anyone, please email any responses to:
{...}!princeton!njsmu!klg
Thanks in advance.

We know about > AT & T's S package and the BSD Statistics package .... Sorry, I didn't want to let this pass by uncorrected. There is no such thing as a "BSD Statistics package". Presumably this is referring to BLSS, the BerkeLey interactive Statistical System. Like BSD, BLSS comes to you from the 4th floor of Evans Hall at UC Berkeley. But BLSS is otherwise independent of BSD: * BLSS is produced & distributed by the Department of Statistics. BSD is produced & distributed by the Department of EECS. * BLSS is distributed separately from BSD. (Hence, a separate license agreement. Sorry!) * BLSS runs on System V UNIX as well as on BSD UNIX. * Acquiring BSD (source) requires a UNIX source license from AT&T. Acquiring BLSS source does not require a UNIX source license from AT&T. Oh, yes. BLSS is inexpensive, but it's not free. (Whether it's "nearly free" depends on your perspective). If you know of a funding source which would permit us to distribute BLSS for free and still meet our bills, we would love to hear about it!! (More information about BLSS is available from us at the addresses below).
