This is being posted for a colleague, Dr. Lee Pedersen of the department 
of Chemistry, here at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
Please reply directly to him, or to me and I will forward the information.
---------------------------------------------------------

UNC-CH is considering purchasing a minisuper computer that
runs UNIX.  S is an interactive statistics package developed
at Bell Labs.  We are most interested in learning its plusses
and minusses in comparison with SAS.
  
We are very interested in finding

a)  people who have had experience with both SAS and S
b)  people who know where there is information (reviews)
    comparing SAS and S
c)  people in a university setting that have used S.
