[Savannah-hackers] [Savannah] dap want to be a GNU package

[savannah-hackers]

Hi,

The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ? 

Submitter: <address@hidden>
Project Full Name:  Dap statistics and graphics
Project System Name:  dap
License:  gpl
Approval URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=342
Description: My project, Dap, is a small statistics and graphics package based 
on C. It provides core methods of data management, analysis, and graphics that 
are commonly used in statistical consulting practice.  Anyone familiar with the 
basic syntax of C programs can learn to use Dap quickly and easily from the 
manual and the examples contained in it; advanced features of C are not 
necessary, although they are available. Because Dap processes files one line at 
a time, rather than reading entire files into memory, it can be, and has been, 
used on data sets that have very many lines and/or very many variables.

Dap is available from:

I wrote Dap to use in my statistical consulting practice because the utterly 
famous, industry standard statistics system (you know the one I mean) is not 
available on GNU/Linux and costs a bundle every year under a lease arrangement. 
I was generally happy with that system, but there were a number of clumsy 
constructs left over from its ancient origins. Thus, I decided to mimic (some 
of!) the core of the functionality of that system in the context of the C 
language, which allows much more programming flexibility.
