Thanks to LISREL, I learned most of the Greek alphabet 25 years ago.  It 
was a difficult program, which was widely viewed as a virtue by those who 
felt powerful techniques should be kept out of the hands of people who had 
no idea how to use them.

I haven't used the program as much in recent years, but the interface has 
certainly been made more user friendly.  Many new features have been 
added.  I can't compare it to Amos, but I wouldn't have trouble 
recommending Lisrel as a program.

You can find out more about Lisrel at
