Quotes:	"If you have S-PLUS and deal with environmental data, it [EnvironmentalStats] is close to a 'must have' addition. This is true even for the statistics professional." "For the quantitatively literate non-statistician the E-Stats package is close to ideal ...." "...the best feature [of the chapter in the User's Manual on Looking at Data] is that each plot is shown with a set of example environmental data which gives the user an idea of what the particular plot is good for." "Given that there are entire software packages ... devoted to [Monte Carlo simulation and risk assessment], E-Stats does a surprisingly good job of presenting the essentials of Monte Carlo simulation and provides a quite nice tool set for constructing simple Monte Carlo simulations."
