Abstract: This paper looks at bugs and errors in the following commonly used statistical packages: SAS, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), Biomedical Data Plan (BMDP), and Minitab. A section on using the Internet to keep up to date on these packages covers subscribing to statistical software lists, searching statistical software lists, using gopher sites of archived messages, and receiving information directly from SAS. A brief section on the literature notes that journals and magazines publish reviews of statistical software. A following section offers seven examples of bugs and errors associated with either SAS or SPSS which also have relevance to many statistical packages. (Contains 15 references.) (JB)
