1. PROC GPLOT in SAS/GRAPH does some linear regression.
 
2. If you have SAS/IML, writing the code to do this will be much simpler than
it would be with a datastep - much of how to do it is illustrated in the IML
manual. (On 2nd thoughts, you probably won't have IML if you don't have STAT!)
 
FWIW,
