Thanks for the report.  I ran into a previous issue where SPSS was
saving every space as a non-breaking space.  I guess it must use other
space variants sometimes too.  Weird.

This seems to be specific to the particular SPV file, because after
converting a couple of SPV files to text I don't see that behavior.
Oddly, I don't seem to have the particular SPV file in question.  If you
send it to me, I'll fix the problem.

I can confirm that a recent (version 25) SPV file looks fine.

It sounds like from comments you made offline that the more examples that do not work (or have issues), the better for nailing down the conversion (since it has a lot of irregularities)?

I also had no idea the service was so widely used... dozens of files per day (at least recently)? That's fantastic actually!
