Does anyone know of a major stats package or a PC or Mac program that
will give the exact probability associated with an F value and its
corresponding degrees of freedom?

Thanks in advance.

SPSS versions 4 and later other than PC+ (so here, this means Mac) have
a funtion in the MATRIX procedure called FCDF that calculates cumulative
distribution values or tail probabilities for central F distributions
(there are also others for t, normal and chi-square distributions).

There is an econometrics program called SHAZAM that will compute exact 
probability for F as well as other distributions. The economics or 
econometrics department at your university most likely will have this
program. Otherwise, write to
