Hi Alan Thanks for responding. Do you mean you compiled and PSPP developer's version of PSPP and installed that? Or you installed Friedrich's version. Thanks Gene

(To be clear, end-users are also allowed, even encouraged, to compile the software themselves, but that is beyond the technical capabilities of the average computer user.) So virtually 100% of the users of PSPP are using a version made by someone else. Not that it's a bad idea to find out who made it. You are trusting that the compiled code is sound. I can vouch for having installed and used the Windows version of PSPP, but obviously your mileage may vary. -Alan On 3/24/2022 5:58 PM, Friedrich Beckmann wrote: Hi Gene, i made this version.
