There are quite a few good statistics packages for the PC:

	Statgraphics

	Systat

	Statpac

	Stats-2

	Statpro

to name a few. All run on the PC (vanilla included, I'm sure). Systat and
Statgraphics are probably the best selling.


Statgraphics, Systat, Statpac, Stats-2, Statpro are all trademarks of their
respective companies.
