than PSPP.

This sounds like an error in the installation script that we think is
due to Windows 7 being EOL (because W7 is no longer supported, we think
some component that we use in the installation package no longer
supports W7).
If this is the issue, the 32-bit installation package should operate
normally
This sounds like a known problem when installing the 64-bit installation
package on Windows 7. If so, using the 32-bit package seems to work fine.
Windows 7 is obsolete now and we believe that some part of the installer
toolchain has dropped support. (So it's not something that is going to
be fixe
I wouldn't panic, but my understanding is that the PSPP team releases
PSPP (as source) which is then packaged by various individuals for
Windows, Mac, various Linux distros, etc. So, there is a sense in which
there is never been "official" binary releases for any target.

Something is screwed up.
I cannot replicate your exact bug on Windows 7 using 1.4.0-gc3c044. I
could try installing the version you have, but it is misbehaving and
crashing for me.
I am attaching test2.sav, which is a tiny dataset where I added the two
variables you have and added some junk data.
You can include a command like this in your syntax before the analysis:
SET FORMAT F12.6.
which will make the default numeric format 12 columns with six decimals.
If you know the whole number will be small, you could use a format like
F8.5. The PSPP manual says:

error-proof or quick.
You could try to search for keywords and create a new variable that has
a numeric value that you label "Nidersachsen" when you detect "Hannover"
or "Niedersachsen". I assume this would be error-prone and tedious
You're sure "nosig" means to suppress significance levels? Because I
think in SPSS it's the opposite. Try:
correlations var = v12 to v21/print sig.
This, BTW, makes no sense to me either.

Ali,
Hopefully you'll get an answer. I'd actually like to hear about it.
But you know that there is a Windows binary, right
(http://pspp.awardspace.com)? I believe it is cross-compiled (i.e., it's
compiled for windows on Linux), and if so it's possible that no one on
this list actually compiles
Rex,
My copy of PSPP doesn't seem to have a way to generate the test using
dialogs so you have to use syntax. Here's what you need to do:
1) Open your data file (or the file attached)
2) Then open a syntax file (in the data window, choose File > New > Syntax)
3) Paste the below syntax. Variable
John,
Off list, he said my steps helped. I think he needed help on how to use
syntax. I think the typical SPSS user has no idea how to use syntax and
I'll bet that most people rely upon the dialogs to generate syntax for
most procedures. (That's what I do and how I generated the syntax for

Hi,
quoting the manual on combining files:
When more than one input file contains a variable with a given name,

I don't understand why you don't change the variable width for your

If you have dozens of variables in dozens of files, it's not "easy" to
fix this problem.

By "I don't think the widest variable should be saved" what exactly do
you mean? If I have email A32 in one file and email A31 in a second
file, if the final merged file has email A31 then one or more email will

I think it would be helpful for the programmers to have some short

Robert,
Something like this?
sort cases by Cluster.
execute.
split file by Cluster.
execute.
freq / Code.
split file off.
execute.
All that was from memory and untested; my apologies if I remembered
wrong but hopefully it suggests the solution.

No idea but that sounds annoying. What version of PSPP (psppire) are
you using (Help > About)?
This doesn't solve you problem, but I would manually enter data into a
spreadsheet or a file and read it using PSPP. Tab-delimited files with
the variable names at the top work well. In LibreOffice Ca
Using psppire.exe 0.8.4-g3a8f33 on Windows 7 (which is a special

I do see a bug:
