Will et al.-

I used OpenOffice 1.0.3 to prepare my dissertation, so I have some 
experience with it.  I have found that a lot of Calc functions have 
different names than their Excel counterparts -- I ended up buying a 
StarOffice book and making copious notes on the endpapers about all 
sorts of things.  For example, I cannot remember offhand what the 
[linear] regression function is called, but it is something rather 
unintuitive.  I did a LOT of reading of the built-in documentation, and 
it is worth noting that the built-in 1.1 docs are MUCH better than than 
1.0 docs (were).

Jeremy -- if you e-mail me off-list and let me know what sorts of 
analysis functions you need, I will dig around in my book and notes and 
see if they are implemented in OOo 1.1.
