Swain. The survey should not be considered as comprehensive, but rather as a representation of available statistical analysis packages. Questionnaires were sent to vendors drawn from previous survey participants, the <I>OR/MS Today</I> database and other sources. It includes the products of those vendors who responded by the deadline. If you know of a forecasting package that is not in this survey, please contact Patton McGinley at (770) 431-0867, ext. 214 or e-mail them to <A HREF="mailto:patton@lionhrtpub.com">patton@lionhrtpub.com</A>.
