    Epi-Info is another free package, which is rather different from R.
    See http://www.cdc.gov/epiinfo/ .

    Its statistics seem to be a smaller set of distinct procedures,
    whereas R, modeled on S-Plus, lets you put together your own
    (as I understand it).

    Epi Info has a nice module for data entry and validation, which
    I tested and found to be very usable. It saves its data as text,
    but it can re-write it with the SPSS or SAS syntax for reading
    into those packages.
