I just finished a probability class, and wrote a couple of short programs on my
28 (the would run fine on the 48) to do some of the distributions, (binomial,
geometric) but they are hardly good enough to post. I looked at the
programs from Waynes server, and they didnt' look too difficult to interpret. I
will play around with them and post some brief documentation on them.  Also,
when you get to the Normal distribution, try out the UPTN command - seems it
gives the probability above any point for a Normal distribution. I found out
about it about 2 hours after the exam!!!
