Dear John,
Sorry it's taken awhile for me to respond with more details about this
bug. I think the inconsistency between PSPP and SPSS originates in the
MEANS syntax command (not PSPPIRE like I originally thought),
specifically the placement/presence of the BY subcommand. I wonder if the
PSPPIRE dialogs could be left alone if the syntax [sub]commands behind
them were reversed. Anyway, here's an attachment with screenshots of the
inconsistent output from both programs. Hope this helps. Congrats on the
release? of v1.0, btw!
