What statistics packages are available for OS/2 (e.g. SAS, Gauss)? Does anyone have any recommendations for a good OS/2 statistics package? T.F.S. Timothy F. Sipples sip1@quads.uchicago.edu

There have been a few reviews of SAS for OS/2...one in particular in PC magazine. The title was something like "Mainframe on a desktop". I am trying to get my employer to switch from our prohibitive mainframe SAS costs to a good OS/2 machine. I went to a SAS conference and saw it perform and it was *fantastic*!!! Jeff Carlson.

For econometric stuff, Shazam is available in an OS/2 version (for the same price, I believe, as the DOS version. Has a variety of procedures, including OLS, GLS 2SLS, probit/logit models, etc. Lisrel is available in an OS/2 version and was, as of last year, the only way to get around the DOS 640K limitation (*very* critical for this program since many users want to estimate models with > 25 variables). Other latent variable model programs accomplish the same with DOS extenders, but these generally don't allow users to run foreground processes (pending better interfaces). BMPD announced an OS/2 version of EQS, but when I phoned them they said their announcement was in error, and that no OS/2 version was being worked on (this info. is about 6 months old, though). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Douglas Baer, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada N6A 5C2 Internet: BAER@UWO.CA Bitnet: BAER@UWOVAX
