Trevor, On the mainframe it's a horror!!! The PC version is a tad friendlier, but not in the league of Systat w/StatGraph as far as user friendly is concerned. Systat has been voted tops by most of the mags that reviewed it along with most of the other stat packages for PCs and Macs. I haven't yet used Systat, but from what I've seen it's pretty good. We have StatView+SE for the Macs at our University and it's very easy to use, but not as powerful as Systat. We have MacRats on order, but hasn't come in yet, so I don't know how it compares. We have used SAS on the mainframe as the major stat package that the university supports, but it's hellashish to use, I agree. I once knew how to use it, but have long since forgotten since I started using pc's. Anything that requires learning JCL shouldn't be permitted to live! Steve
