So? Until late in this year, the NeXT didn't even have a real OS. Should you
really be building a spreadsheet bigger than 1M or is that a job for an
accounting package? What accounting packages are there for the NeXT?

>> Tell me: what decent Stats package exists on a Mac?

Oh, SYSTAT. I suppose that's a bad stats package, though. I don't know tons
about stats pacakages, to tell you the truth. There are a number more than
one, though.
