There has been interest expressed within the group for statistical tools.
Here is one (UNIX/STAT) that we have had for sometime and for which CSRI
recently purchased a new upgrade (version 5.4).

This message is also intended to solicit comments about what people want in
a statistical package.  If you have any views or preferences, or are aware
of any statistical tool that you think is really good and that we should
consider getting, VOICE your opinion.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For those unfamiliar with this package, it is a set of statistical tools
and data manipulation tools written by Gary Perlman.  Our previous version
was something like 5.1/5.2.  These are provided AS IS with no warranty
expressed or implied.

This new version is now installed in /local/bin/unixstat.  Here is a
synopsis of the package.
