I contacted Luke Tierney a few weeks back, indicating that I'd like to 
obtain a copy of XLispStat for the Amiga, and was also directed to the 
fellow at the address above. I also enquired as to the the e-mail address 
of Professeur J. K. Lindsey. Unfortunately, Luke Tierney is unaware of it
( or even if one exists ).

Sorry, no. Several of the respected statisticians within this department 
have given the mac version high praise. Let us hope that the Amiga port 
is no dissappointment.

See my response to 2) above.

This is a fabulous idea ... Perhaps you ( duncan@csd4.csd.uwm.edu ) 
or I should contact Professeur J. K. Lindsey in the near future, and 
discuss this with him. Unless, perhaps, a Belgian Amigan is willing to 
pick up the ball ( and spare us from taking the tedious inter-continental 
snail-mail route ) ??

At the very least, it WOULD be nice to have this program placed onto an 
accessable ftp site.
