I previously posted a note re: STAT101 which is a low cost version of
Minitab to be available from Addison-Wesley ...  shortly.  Based on followup
information from MTB, I need to make a slight correction to that earlier
posting.

STAT101 will be based on the first version of the STUDENT EDITION ...  which
was based on Release 6 of MTB.  However, STAT101 will have a data editor ...
an improvement over the first STUDENT EDITION.  In addition, any fixes from
Release 6 that were incorporated into Release 7 ...  will also be part of
STAT101.  STAT101 will be prompt driven (the infamous MTB>) and only DOS
based.  The major limitations of STAT101 will be the size of the worksheet
...  2000 cells, with 50 columns max (to coincide with MYSTAT) AND a lack of
advanced ANOVA commands.  Only ONEWAY and TWOWAY will be available.  But,
these may be sufficient for most intro courses.  However, the full
regression capabilities will still be there, plus the other usual things:
basic stats, random generation of data and look up tables, cross tabs,
column manipulations, AND TIME SERIES.

Readers of these lists will have to examine STAT101 for themseleves to see
if it will meet their (students') needs.  To me, it is a welcome addition in
the sense that a product from Minitab will be available to compete with
MYSTAT.  As a Minitab user, I find this development very helpful.
