Jim,
More information is available about the acquisition at
http://www.dataflux.com/conceptual/.
Perhaps not surprisingly, DBMS/Analyst has been discontinued.

Hi Phil,
Indeed, it is DataFlux, but John Gerstle wrote on 16 December 2002 that SAS
had purchased DBMS/copy. Howard Schreier told us on 17 December that Analyst
(a workalike for the SAS DATA step and a number of Base SAS procedures) was
going to be pulled out. DataFlux website (
http://www.dataflux.com/about/about.asp
<http://www.dataflux.com/about/about.asp> ) says: "On June 14, 2000 DataFlux
was acquired by SAS Institute". This was not denied by Henry Feldman, the
author of DBMS/copy. See the SAS-L discussion of 16+17+18 December 2002 with
the subject "Stat/Transfer vs. DBMS Copy". And check out the web yourself.
If you find anything new I would be happy to hear it. I hope they do not
strip Analyst too much as it may be a good alternative for any basic
statistical software program to legally use at home (if bought privately)
for commercial work. This is the more valuable as SAS-LE (with its 1000
observations limit) (and if bought privately as well) may not legally be
used for productive work, but only for learning and experimenting.
Kind regards - Jim.

Subject: A recent msg re: DBMS Copy
Dear Jim,
Maybe you had the following msg in mind, maybe
you didn't. Just in case you didn't see it, I append
it below. As I understand it, it is DataFlux that is
marketing DBMS Copy now. I hope I'm not wrong
aboutthat, too.
(I need to check Data Flux out, for I bought DBMS
Copy a few years ago, and so far have neglected to
get updates. Have I forfeited something special?
I hope not.)

My mistake - sorry!
The DMBS/Copy expert here at DataFlux says that almost all of the
DBMS/Analyst features are available in Copy. Not exactly sure what
you would like to accomplish with Analyst, but Copy may support your
requirements. You can find contact information on the DataFlux web
site - our DBMS/Copy expert may be able to help out!
Best Regards,
Mike
