There are quite a few good statistics packages for the PC:
Statgraphics
Systat
Statpac
Stats-2
Statpro
to name a few. All run on the PC (vanilla included, I'm sure). Systat and
Statgraphics are probably the best selling.
Statgraphics, Systat, Statpac, Stats-2, Statpro are all trademarks of their
respective companies.
