- Dr. David Arday brought up the subject of spreadsheets & statistical
- software. I think most of his comments have been well answered here by
- others. However, he also noted:
-
- > It would be nice if we could all have a pocket computer that had built in
- > SAS, SPSS, BMDP, SYSTAT, etc. and cost $99.95 with documentation, so that we
- > could always do the best possible statistical computations for every

-
- Systat has an "instructional version" named MYSTAT available, and this
- accomplishes most, if not all, of the analyses that Dr. Arday mentioned. It
- is now distributed by Course, Technology, Inc. (800) 648-7450. I believe the
- price for diskette and manual is $14.95.
-
- This information was in the Systat newsletter dated Winter, 1992.
