<...want friendly interface to elementary statistical reporting in SAS...> to the detriment of my own business, have you tried the SAS ASSIST product. i think it works reasonably well. otherwise, i would be happy to build a custom (AF/Frame Entry) interface for you (would not be too expensive). ...now a word to the wise.... i have been buidling custom interfaces for quite some time. some are text-based, some are GUI based. although this is a great selling point initially, i find that many clients, usually the would be users, once the interface is developed, decide that a) they would rather have someone who gets paid less than they do sit there and push the buttons required to produce the rudimentary reports and/or b) the results they get lead them to ask more questions, whic the rudimentary interface software cannot do. so a SAS programmer gets hired to do both the rudimentary reports and any subsequent ones. ---- now maybe all this means that i don't build great interfaces, but hts is not what my clients have told me. steve doliov, statistical solutions inc.
