I checked, thank you. This is true of two systems here.

Never even had to consider it. On the newer 64-bit systems, it appears
that the 32-bit support must have been brought in as a dependency by a
completely different package, which I didn't notice.

I'm glad to have it working: P-Stat dev and support ceased when the
authors died a few years ago, but it's still available, and they had a
LOT of clients using it institutionally. It's command-line, like r, so
it's second nature to professional statisticians and data analysts:
clients begged the authors NOT to spend time developing a GUI like SPSS
or SAS, but to spend it making better statistics. Other stats packages
would use P-Stat to check the accuracy of their own calculations :-)
