Apologies for a question borne out of ignorance, but I am a humble school teacher who has only recently ventured into the realm of Unix. My exposure to computers has been limited to ms-dos machines, except for an occassional Apple Macintosh here and there. Anyway, my school has gotten a hold of a number of IBM PC RT's, but we don't know what we can do with them. They come fully equipped with 100+ meg hard drives and AIX 2.2.1 (or is it 2.2.2?) But they sit largely unused. I know that we will try to turn one of them into our Internet, uh, host(?) and probably try to run something like Waffle so that our users won't be faced with a $ prompt. (Many students are even less computer literate than me!) So what *can* we do with these guys? We've got emacs up and running, but are there public domain statistical analysis packages? Spread sheets? Databases? What applications can I try to run? And wher can I find more information? Thanks in advance to all who reply. Thomas Martin tmartin@nyx.cs.du.edu
