Could it be a privileges issue (e. g. no writing permission on a folder in the file path)? Also, it seems "almost OK": it raises an error but then displays "success", but still an error (as the file is not created). Double-checking the Windows behaviour regarding this code /* Create the file on disk. */ w->rf = replace_file_start (fh_get_file_name (fh), "w", 0666, &w->file, NULL); if (w->rf == NULL) { msg (ME, _("Error opening `%s' for writing as a system file: %s."), fh_get_file_name (fh), strerror (errno)); goto error; } should be helpful. -- Alberto Cabello Sánchez <albe...@unex.es> _______________________________________________ Pspp-users mailing list Pspp-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-users
