Using the PSPPIRE Data Editor (the "data window") select "Data View" at the bottom left (if it's not already selected) and select your case and choose "Edit > Clear Case" and the cases will be deleted. I usually prefer syntax because if you save the syntax, it makes the analysis replicable and pro

You can't. You can import from and save to OpenOffice/LibreOffice/ODF formats, but not Excel. You can also use CSV. In SPSS, I dislike opening Excel files because AFAIK, there is no way to specify the format of the variables when opening Excel. Occasionally, this is a real PITA. So, I find it wor

I don't know if PSPP (or SPSS) can do Pareto Diagrams. So, maybe PSPP isn't the tool you need. But PSPP has (I think) the same capabilities of combining data as SPSS, but I think you do need to use syntax. This page describes the commands to combine data files. There's a command to stack files/add

Ben's a genius at understanding SPSS file formats, but he's not going to have any insight into tiamo's PHP code. If tiamo's code has a source file called sys-file-reader, it's probably a port of PSPP code (and that should be self-evident from examining the file; it should have a FSF copyright) and

Domingo, I don't think the devs (other than Harry) use Windows, so if we find a bug in the Windows version of PSPP, it's important for us to file a bug report. I could file a bug report for you, but then if it gets fixed I'd need to be able to test it and the bug you found with non-ASCII character
