Both CORRELATIONS and RELIABILITY are in the version 0.7.x (aka "master"). If you want to try it out I suggest that you download a tarball from http://pspp.benpfaff.org/~blp/ The RELIABILTY command is not complete. But it does calculate Cronbach's Alpha which is what most people seem to want it

I think that PSPP' main use is for heavy datafiles processing, where R cannot be used. PSPP, like SPSS, is a competitor for SAS. programming capabilities are not on the same level between SAS, SPSS and R or on another level matlab etc... so what are the strength of these big datafiles systems ?
