When we get our new UNIX machine next year I am interested in the possibility of bringing in either SAS or PSTAT as an alternative to SPSS-X. I understand that SAS can, as at Cambridge University, cause system problems if not installed on specific IBM machines and would welcome comments thereon. I have the impression that Roald Buhler's PSTAT acts well in interactive situations but have the impression that he is a one-man-band. But my real problem is that I don't really know much about what users can actually do with these packages. Any information is welcome. Or should we stick to SPSS-X.

A gentleman from SAS informs me that there is no UNIX version of the package. But I am still interested in PSTAT. Although it does seem expensive compared with Minitab. For a mini PSTAT is $6000 dollars the first year followed by $3000 a year thereafter. An educational discount is to be subtracted from that. On a micro it costs 595 pounds plus 225 pounds annual maintenance. Academic site licence is 800 pounds/year (Nonacademic 1500 pounds/year) -- Douglas Clark Voice: +44 225 826826*5214 Computer Unit, Bath University, JANET: Clark@UK.AC.AUCC Claverton Down, Bath, Avon, UUCP : seismo!mcvax!ukc!bath63!cc_dgdc England BA2 7AY ARPA : cc_dgdc%ux63.bath.ac.uk@ucl-cs.arpa
