[comp.unix.wizards] "S" statistical package on Eunice?

z@rocksanne.UUCP (01/27/87)

Is anyone out their running "S" on top of Eunice?  The "S" package consists
mostly of ratfor with a little bit of C support code.  It doesn't do anything
funky other than forking shells for editors so I would suspect there is no
problem.  I would just like to know if anyone has done it.

This is the answer I got from Rick Becker (one of the authors of S):

->Several people have put S up on Eunice--Rik Littlefield at

->at Statistics Canada.  As far as I know, things went fine.
->Another possibility is to check into Qualtech Systems, Inc's
->Success Software, which is an S port to native VMS.

The Qualtech native port is based on the # of users and is inexpensive for
a 2 user system.  Thank you Rick for responding.
