Thank you for the correction. I don't have a corpus of .spo or .spw files. (If anyone has a collection of either kind of file and is willing to give them to me, then I can make reading those formats a later project. I would keep them confidential.) GPL graphics are similar, except for syntax, t

Thank you Ben, I remember the old output format from my first contact with SPSS as a student - I found information that it was .spo file extension while .spw is file extension for web reports: https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/spss/seminars/introduction-to-spss-syntax-2/ " SPSS output files have the fil

There seem to be several SPSS output formats. First, there's something really old (?) with an .spw extension. I haven't looked at those at all and I don't have a corpus of them to learn from, so PSPP won't support .spw files until those change. Second, there are effectively two different subform

MULT RESPONSE might also benefit from the work I'm doing. I've looked at MULT RESPONSE before, and one of the things that kept me from implementing it is the output complexity. CROSSTABS also has very complex output routines, to the extent the complexity of the output comes close to overshadowing

Hi Ben, it is great to hear that you are working with spv output. I know that they were changing it from version to version so it seem like quite a challenge, but based on what challenges you have faced before when making PSPP compatible to SPSS I'm sure you will handle it :) CTABLES or Tables i
