Actually, I looked at Octave and it doesn't seem to be what I'm looking
for (or maybe it is and I just don't know it?)... I need a program that
can handle statistical tests such as ANOVAs, ANCOVAs, MRC, t-tests,
chi-square... that type of stuff (used mainly for determining
statistical differences between groups of subjects)... Can Octave do
that stuff? Someone mentioned that SPSS was ported to Linux - this would
probably be appropriate (although I really can't stand that program....)

Thanks again,
