Re: When to use Fisher?

Well, SAS and, I think, most other major statistical software packages

advantages, apparently there could be circumstances when you would
rather use the chi-square test assuming you have a large enough sample.

Yes, for 2x2 tables, i expect all of the major stats packages can do Fisher's exact test. I was thinking about extensions of that approach for tables larger than 2x2, but did not make that clear in my post.
