S/New S and S+( the commercial version from Statistical Sciences) are the main data analysis packages for research level statistics. News S has been running on the NeXT for some time but what is very exciting is that Statistical Sciences is porting S+ to the NeXT. They are testing the version which uses X11 now. As I understand matters a NeXTSTep version will be out later this year. You can get more information about S+ from marvin@statsci.com . This is a first rate package. Hopefully NeXT users will look into it. By the way, we are talking about something far more powerful than SAS here, although the usage of the two is somewhat different.
