I have updated my web site for the first time in six months to add a page about Cygwin and SAS. It gives some useful information on how to set up Cygwin (free Linux for your PC), expecially for people with non-US keyboards (the pipe symbol does not come out unless you download and activate rxvt - an alternative terminal emulator). The new page is here http://www.datasavantconsulting.com/roland/cygwin.html and is linked to from here http://www.datasavantconsulting.com/roland/unixtips.html

The main page of my web site is here http://www.datasavantconsulting.com/roland/

There are more than one hundred macros on the web site. Some of these are intended for use in Clinical SAS reporting. There are SAS tips (especially on writing macros) and also Unix tips and shell scripts. Some of the shell scripts call SAS. In this form they can be very powerful tools on a Unix platform. For example, "contents" can list out the contents of a whole sas library and then it can be piped to grep to search for a variable name in datasets such as:

contents | grep 'SITE '
