I have not used the raw GSS. Instead I have used the
GSS put out by MicroCase. This data analysis engine is so user
friendly that
students can concentrate on the concepts rather than the tedium.
I recall in the old days hours were lost because I did not place a "."
in the correct place. I started my dissertation on the main frame
then was able to do work off site with on line connection to the main
frame. Now the whole thing could be done on my note book.
Too late for me but great for students.
In my view the MicroCase system blows the other's door off, including
SPSS. I can't understand why everyone doesn't use
it.

I think the GSS is now every other year, with a core set

asked of all, and a subset that are only asked of some of the sample.
There was one conducted in 2004, which NORC says should be available in
early 2005:

By GSS do you mean General Social Survey done by The Roper Center?
If so,
the latest is 2002, more or less continuous since 1972, some times
every
year and sometimes every other year. The web site is
http://www.ropercenter.uconn.edu/gss.html The data is also
available
from Penn State American Religion Data Archive at
www.thearda.com
and
through ICPSR at University of Michigan.
