Hi, thanks for your suggestions. Finally the file opened, it was a lack of patience from me for not waiting enough until pspp could open the file. It took more than 10 minutes to open in a not so powerfull computer with W7 at work. The same file under Linux and a more updated computer took only a couple of minutes to open.
