Anyone have any recollection of Prophet software, from the National (US)
Center for Research Resources?

My recollection is that the BMD programs (which, in a later version,
became BMDP) predated SAS and were specifically for BioMeDical
analysis.
How could I forget those! Yes, my old (as in 1980-1985) boss at the
University hospital even had the manual in the office. It wasn't a
statistical system though, more a suite of single-purpose computer
programs with a rigid control-card specification format.
BTW, they were apparently put in the public domain by UCLA, but I wonder
where they went?
I believe BMDP was bought by SPSS around 1996. SPSS also purchased Systat in
that same time period I believe.

Statistical Solutions has BMDP, along with NCSS and nQuery, etc:

I was going to reference BMDP from my memories of some folks that used it back
in the 80's, but was away at a meeting and then I noted Doug's reference to it.
SPSS sold Systat to a group in India (Cranes Software) , which then
re-constituted Systat Software:

StatView was another of those early programs dating from the mid-to-late 80's
that went through various incarnations, was eventually bought by SAS, which
then shut it down in favor of JMP.
