Dear All On linux and big data sets it was (at least in the past, not used recently) worthwhile to compile with a bigger workspace (if my memory is correct line 66 file settings.c in src/data). It seems to me that 64M is small with today memory but I'm not sure to be right Many thanks for P

Before you run a PSPP analysis, press the "CRTL" and "Alt" and "Delete" keys and select "Start Task Manager" and go to the "Processes" tab and click on CPU so that the little arrow points down. This allows you to monitor the workload of your Windows computer. Then minimize Task Manager and start

Alan, Thank you for your helpful replies. I now understand that PSPP works fine with smaller datasets than with the large one I am using. I think I will have to go for a trial version of SPSS. Cecily On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 11:53 PM, Cecily Ray wrote: > Alan, > > I performed a frequency opera

Cecily, Please respond to the list so everyone can see the response (like the developers would would actually fix bugs). What do you do after PSPP says "(Not responding)"? When a Windows program says that, it means that it's doing something internally and it may respond when it's finished. Alth

Do you recall what version of PSPP you installed? Do you recall if it was the 32-bit or 64-bit version? I am using an older version, pspp 0.10.1-g1082b8, and it works fine on my 64-bit windows 7. When you say that the program doesn't respond, you click on the gui and a dialog opens but the statis
