I am looking for information on the language "S" that has been
on AT&T's commercial software price list in the past.

Does anyone have comments on its availability, experience
using it, etc.? I am interested in its use for graphics applications.

"S" seems to have been dropped from the AT&T price list and
800-UNIX is not of much help.

Any Help Is Appreciated.

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.
