Hello:

    We run 4.2 bsd.  We'd like to run 'S', if possible.

Is this possible ?  Is anyone doing it ?  Have you had problems ?

Did it take long to port the software ?  
Did it take long to fix the licenses & make the lawyers happy ?

If you've had problems, were they with S, or S & 4.2 ?
Could you fix them ? with or without major trauma ?

Was S been worth it ? 

    ( n.b. we run SAS & SPSS-X on IBM mainframe,
    various DEC packages on VAX-VMS.
    comparisions, contrasts, etc. would be welcome.)

As usual, will summarize if enough interest.
Hope this isn't a repeat of recent activity - 
if so please send summary.

p.s.  	Sorry about multiple newsgroups - checked Adam's list, 
	but wasn't clear if usoft.s was active, defunct, or whatever.
