Thanks for prompt help, John. I am using Gui version (psppire) where can I type the export command you mention. Or is that possible only in command line version?
It would be great to be able to make this change permanently since I am going to be working only with files in one particular (non-english) encoding. Is there a way to do this? thanks for any tips karel On Sun, 2008-12-07 at 08:22 +0900, John Darrington wrote: > Pspp assumes that the sav file's encoding is the same as the current > locale.
