Great. I've had a quick Google around but have been unable to find out anything about this .spv format. Is it going to be as closed as .spo? Can users of 'legacy' versions of spss get an spv viewer? I suppose these are all questions for spss. Thanks for all comments. I'm ready to switch to R - with html or odf output where necessary.
