 Hi,
     I've got a package from the netlib called xgobi, and this
     talks about a package called S. 
     Does anyone know what this is, and where I can get a copy.
     I've seen a directory called S on various anon ftp sites but
     these just seem to be various other packages that use S.

	Thanks in advance,
					   Dave.

"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.
