The book I use is "S : An Interactive Environment for Data Analysis
and Graphics", by Richard A. Becker and John M. Chambers, Copywrite 1984.
It's part of the Wadsworth Statistics/Probability Series from Wadsworth
Advanced Book Program in Belmont, CA.
The address for information on obtaining S is:
AT&T Technologies Software Sales
P.O. Box 25000
Greensboro, North Carolina 27420
Unfortunately, the phone number given is 1-800-828-UNIX, which probably
doesn't help you.
I use S quite a bit. The graphics is easy to implement quickly. I use
a variety of plotters, screens, printers, etc..., all of which are easily
handled by the S drivers. Hope this helps.
