I missed the original post on this one. I would say the
answer depends on the environment you are in. One key
question is whether you want SAS to run in the memory and
CPU of the client or server machine. The setup for
installing SAS on what effectively becomes a file server is
not so difficult. Basically, you run through the standard
setup from a client machine (installing SAS to run off a
network drive) and then just need to setup short-cuts on
your client machines that point to appropriate SAS.EXE and
CONFIG.SAS files. SAS has some very nice deals (at least
for academic customers) for such a setup. The costs and
complexity of setting up a UNIX or NT box to actually *RUN*
SAS (as opposed to just serving the files) were much greater
the last time I inquired.
