I wonder how many people have a copy of SAS for "personal use".  Other
than students, almost everyone uses it for business or professional
purposes.

Qualex Consulting Services, Inc, a SAS Alliance Gold Member, has
released a
new SAS Tool called "Minimizer."

Minimizer reduces the file size of a SAS data set by calculating the
minimum
possible number of bytes for all SAS variables in a data set. This is
particularly useful for minimizing integer variables.

Minimizer features an easy-to-use interface, which allows you to
analyze and
test a data set before saving to a new minimized data set. Minimizer
displays a comparison table which helps you to visualize your various
reduction options.

Minimizer is available for SAS Version 8.2 and is free for personal
use
only.

For more information and downloading instructions, go to:

Qualex currently offers 21 different SAS Tools available for download:
