Are there any statistical packages that will run on UNIX, in particular
a GOULD 2.0 UTX (4.3 BSD based)?  I read that S is available for UNIX,
but I do not know anything about it.

There is Gary Perlman's UNIX|STAT package, I don't know if it meets
your requirements. You can contact him at:

S is a great Stats package, but can't really be compared with any of the others - SAS, Minitab...

S is an interactive package best run on a graphics terminal or workstation.
It basically is a great system for getting graphical output and for applying
statistical functions to data until you get the output you find informative.
I've also used it simply to graph formulas etc.

If you get source you can also fairly easily write device drivers for 
whatever output device you have - device drivers do exist for AT&T terminals
(of course), most HP plotters, Textronix graphics terminals, Postscript printers and Sun's.

S is useless if you just want an automatic report generator.  It will probably
do the job, but not as well as SAS or Minitab or any of the others.

S is available from AT&T for a reasonable fee to Universities, I have no idea
what they charge the real world.

I have heard of other smaller Unix packages, but have no experience with them.
