These are the responses to my query about ATT's S stat package
running on the SUN workstation:
If you want to order S or info call ATT Technologies:
Bob Hoffman (account executive) 800-828-8649 - don't expect fast results
(breaking up is hard to do -- reorganizing is even harder)
_____
Yes it is possible to run S on a Sun workstation. In fact it does not
take any major modification of the source code to get things going.
People at the Waisman Center at the University of Wisconsin ahve been
using S quite satisfactorily on their Sun for quite some time now.
_____
We have S running on a Sun, although there were a few minor problems
with f77 compiler bugs. All of our experience has been with a very
recent f77 compiler and a Sun 2 processor. It isn't very hard to write
a device driver for S that calls the suncore graphics routines to do
graphics inside a suntools graphics layer.
_____
We currently have S up and running on our SUN 2's. We have some modifications
so that it works with the SUNTOOLS package.
_____
Been done. We use S all the time, and I know it works with
or QMS laser printer, although we do not have a versatec.
Good luck, as I remember it takes around 20 hours for S to
compile!

S reference:
Richard A. Becker & John M. Chambers, 1984
An Interactive Environment for Data Analysis & Graphics
Wadsworth Statistics/Probability Series: Belmont, CA 94002
ISBN 053403313X
____
I don't know the answer to your question but the following info
might be useful:
As far as I know, the executable code alone for S takes up
around 1-2 megabytes on the vax750 I use it on here.
The source code takes another 20 or so megabytes.
