i also do not know what the original poster asked, but s/he may also
look at micro-tsp 5.1 (quantitative micro software, 4521 campus drive, suite
336, irvine, ca 92715 [714]856-3368).  the software is very good for
time series, but would also be satisfactory for cross sectional designs
(it includes weighted procedures, for example).  it does not presently
have the ability to handle pooled data sets easily.  utsp will do ols,
2sls and systems of equations, and does n-th order autocorrelation and
moving averages, as well as full arima.  it has good transformations and
import/export, and satisfactory plotting and graphing.  the user
interface is much friendlier than rats, i'm told by a user of both.
utsp also includes rudimentary data entry and editing abilities.  this
is just a sketch, not mentioning :-) logit and nonlinear estimating
ability...

the package is $595, or $295 education discount.  it is, alas, copy
protected.
