I administer a computer lab of Linux systems and we sometimes need to access data distributed in SPSS format. pspp has been a very valuable way to "get a look" at what is in there! On a Centos 5.4 system, I wanted to build an RPM for pspp 0.6.2. I eventually succeeded, but it required quite a bit

Another strange issue, is if I create a file with only this: *comment 1. *comment 2. *comment 3. The line 1 and 3 appears yellow, and line 2 red. If I go to line 2 and change anything on it, it becomes yellow, and line 3 becomes red. If I change anything on line 3, all of my lines becomes yellow.
