Subject:      poisson regression and tobit regression--HOW???

Is there any way to get SPSS to do poisson regression or tobit regression.
Tobit is so useful for variables that are truncated at zero and poisson is
so useful for count variables. Since much of my work is with counts or
truncated distributions, not being able to do poisson regression or tobit
regression is a serious limitation. I can easilly do this with LIMDEP (an
econometric package) or beat them out of SAS, but I would like to keep my
life simple and get SPSS to do it. Have I missed something in SPSS???
