     We (statistical consultancy firm) are looking for a suitable
     statistics package.
     At present we use SPSS-X,GENSTAT and MINITAB on a mainframe.
     However due to high costs and slow turn-a-round we want to
     move our work onto micros.We have an IBM PC,SAGE,WICAT.
     I would be grateful if anyone who feels inclined and/or
     knowledgeable could mail me with advice on suitable packages
     and/or micros with the following specifications :

     (i)   up to 3/4 users
     (ii)  ability to cope with largish datasets (upto 10 meg)
     (iii) 40 meg hard storage
     (iv)  same sort of range of analysis as SPSS-X or SAS



    If I receive enough comments I shall summarise to the net.
