Pspp users and developers: Thank's to all, i finally decided to compile Pspp myself from scratch. I use SPSS since College (an old non GUI version), since I graduated i had been using versions 11 or higher.
I think it's a good opportunity to refresh some input command skills. Alberto. 2008/8/14 Andy Choens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I have a .deb file of 0.6.0 that I managed to compile on my box.
