Seems like before there was PROC LOGISTIC there was a procedure in the
SUGI Supplemental Library (the green guide) called LOGIST.  If I am
correct it was superseded by LOGISTIC.  Interestingly calling LOGIST
gets you LOGISTIC see below.   Sorry I don't have any more
information.


7    proc logist data=sashelp.class;
8       model sex = weight;
9       run;

NOTE: PROC LOGISTIC is modeling the probability that Sex='F'. One way
to change this to model
      the probability that Sex='M' is to specify the response variable
option EVENT='M'.
NOTE: Convergence criterion (GCONV=1E-8) satisfied.
NOTE: There were 19 observations read from the data set SASHELP.CLASS.
NOTE: PROCEDURE LOGIST used (Total process time):
      real time           0.00 seconds
      cpu time            0.00 seconds
