A prospective Tower client in the wholesale distribution
business is looking for a statistical analysis package. 
Specifically, they wish "to perform linear and multi-variate
regression, statistical sampling and trend analysis." (I know
just enough about this to be dangerous, so I am simply repeating
their words.)  If the package also did some graphics that would
be a plus.

Input data would probably be from an Ascii file or from a
spreadsheet.  The simplest approach would be to find a fairly
low power statistical package (we don't need an SPSS here) that
would run on the Tower.  An alternative, of course, would be to
export the data to a PC, but I would rather keep things on a
single machine.

Any thoughts or experience in this area?

Thanks.
