I've been redesigning the "pspp" program's command-line interface
to make more sense. In particular:
* I'm getting rid of the "devices" configuration file
entirely.
* To specify, say, HTML output to a file named foo.html,
you would now invoke PSPP as "pspp -o foo.html".
* If you don't give any options specifying an output file
at all, you get plain-text output on stdout by default,
instead of in "pspp.list". (You can get it in
pspp.list with "-o pspp.list".)
So far, most of the work I've done is revising documentation; I
haven't actually implemented this. If you want to look at the
revised documentation, you can pull from benpfaff.org:
git pull git://benpfaff.org/pspp output
At this point, before I go to the trouble of fully implementing
it, I'd like to hear some feedback on the idea. I've never liked
the PSPP command-line interface; I think this is a lot better.
