For econometric stuff, Shazam is available in an OS/2 version (for the same
price, I believe, as the DOS version.  Has a variety of procedures, including
OLS, GLS 2SLS, probit/logit models, etc.
  Lisrel is available in an OS/2 version and was, as of last year, the only
way to get around the DOS 640K limitation (*very* critical for this program
since many users want to estimate models with > 25 variables).  Other latent
variable model programs accomplish the same with DOS extenders, but these
generally don't allow users to run foreground processes (pending better
interfaces).   BMPD announced an OS/2 version of EQS, but when I phoned
them they said their announcement was in error, and that no OS/2 version
was being worked on (this info. is about 6 months old, though).
