Geni,

PSPP for windows has a problem when the filename or the path has
extended characters (which would be natural for non-English speakers).

The developers have made some fixes but the simplest solution would be
if you could avoid such characters.  I would also avoid spaces.  So,
hopefully you can change the folder on Z: to something without accents
or spaces.

If you can do this, Harry would like to know if that solves your problem.
