This temporary drawback is far outweighed by its wonderful extensibility, for new or existing statistical software can be very easily integrated into the language. Thus it is precisely an S users group which is needed to round out the language and fill in some of the gaps. I endorse the idea of a new news group (net.lang.S) to discuss and exchange ideas and (pointers to) new statistical software which could be included in the language. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
