When we get our new UNIX machine next year I am interested in the possibility
of bringing in either SAS or PSTAT as an alternative to SPSS-X. I understand
that SAS can, as at Cambridge University, cause system problems if not
installed on specific IBM machines and would welcome comments thereon.
I have the impression that Roald Buhler's PSTAT acts well in interactive
situations but have the impression that he is a one-man-band. But my real
problem is that I don't really know much about what users can actually do
with these packages. Any information is welcome. Or should we stick to SPSS-X.

Thanks in advance.

A gentleman from SAS informs me that there is no UNIX version of the
package. But I am still interested in PSTAT. Although it does seem
expensive compared with Minitab.

For a mini PSTAT is $6000 dollars the first year followed by $3000 a year
thereafter. An educational discount is to be subtracted from that.

On a micro it costs 595 pounds plus 225 pounds annual maintenance.
Academic site licence is 800 pounds/year (Nonacademic 1500 pounds/year)
