Just curious: what is this specific statistics package that you use about four times a
year? R can not substitute for this?

R is good, and I love it. However, fitting distributions is a pain, because you basically
have to do it by hand. So, I use EasyFit:
http://www.mathwave.com/easyfit-distribution-fitting.html
This makes it a breeze. I have not been able to find an R package that does this. All
the R packages I've seen make you build your own library of probability density
functions and then do the fitting on each one.
If you know of a package in R that replicates what easyfit does, I'd **love** to use
it.
Happily, I use it seldom enough that I can keep re-installing and using the demo.
