Technology Partners (801-226-7553) may have finished their MacOS (not A/UX)
port of S.

For those of you not familiar with Tech Partners, they are one of the
[at least two] vendors of S binaries (StatSci (mktg@statsci.com) being
the other).  Tech Partners is, as I understand it, essentially an academic
diversion run by Dr. Dale Scott (U Utah).  According to AT&T literature,
SUCCESS (Tech Partner's S) has been ported to VMS, SunOS, some SVR4s,
Ultrix(RISC), AIX, and HP/UX.  Note that SUCCESS is not a superset
of AT&T S as SPlus is.  Also, as of September, all versions of SUCCESS
were based AT&T S88 not S91.

We decided to buy Splus as we felt the added features and more
expansive docs were worth it.  However, if you're on a limited
budget, or use a system not supported by StatSci, they could
be a very viable source.
