Gosh, I hate to eat my words.  Here's the deal on a SAS/Graph application.
We (that is SAS Institute) will develope a Technical Report that will
include a Mac diskette with the application on it.  The Tech report
will explain how it works, etc.  It will be distributed by SAS, and will
cost nearly nothing (less than $20, I believe), mostly to cover cost
of publication and distribution.

So Don't Send Me A Disk.  If it's too late, I'll mail it back with what
I have so far, but it won't be pretty.  I'll post again as soon as the
kit is ready (a few weeks at most, mostly for printing time) etc.

However, if you have any requests for features or opinions about what
file formats should be output, etc., please let me know Real Soon Now.

I apologize if this has turned into a business deal on the net, it is
our intention to provide this feature as cheaply as distribution will
allow, and give equal access to all our customers (USENET and non-USENET).


A secondary unrelated question, that is purely hypothetical. ;-)  Is
there any interest in a full front-end workstation implementation of
the SAS/RLink protocol for Macs?  By this I mean a Mac editor window,
and nice Mac windows for SAS output, logs, and graphs?  No local processing,
but full Remote Submit, etc.?  If you have SAS and don't understand
what I am talking about, find someone who has PC SAS and ask about remote
submit.  We are discussing the possibility of such an project and I would 
be very interested in any responses to the idea.
