Well, I'll put in a plug for IgorPro version 4 (version 5 is on the 
way) because both Mac and Windows versions ship on the same CD. I use 
it extensively for analysis of rapid enzyme kinetics measurements, but 
I haven't used it for AUC data, since I do all that in UltraScan. But 
the grapics output of UltraScan are not as flexible as I would like. 
Igor is very powerful and programmable, and therefore takes some effort 
to learn, but the tech support by the company and on an email forum 
such as this is among the best I've ever experienced. Igor provides 
presentation quality, and allows easy importing of data from excel and 
any ASCII source as well as custom curve fitting and error analysis, 
but I don't know about global curve fitting. Sorry if this is too 
restricted of an endorsement.
