"S" is an interactive, statistical programming "environment" developed at Bell
Labs. I do not know how to track down "S" info from Bell Labs. However, there
are several books that have been published about "S". To wit:

  . Becker, R.A., Chambers J.M. & Wilks, Allan R.
    The New S Language: A Programming Environment For Data Analysis & Graphics

  . Chambers J.M. & Hastie, T.J.
    Statistical Models

There is also an enhanced, proprietary version called "S-PLUS". It's available
from:

   Statistical Sciences, Inc.
   1700 Westlake Ave. N. Suite 500
   Seattle, WA  98109
   E-mail: mktg@statsci.com

This last bit of info was lifted from a recent promotional brochure of theirs.
