Also, FWIW, the Windows output contains a strange
character (vertical tab?):

I do use the interactive mode occasionally, for testing.
There are two different ways that interactive mode can work: with the
"readline" library for command editing, or without it. I tried both
of these and couldn't reproduce it on GNU/Linux.
More and more, we need a Windows developer, if Windows is going to be
supported well.

If I've ever used the interactive mode of PSPP, I cannot recall. I think it's broken (at least in windows). It reads the first character of each command as a 'p':

The irony of this ... is that the Internet is
both almost-infinitely expandable, while at the
same time constrained within its own pre-defined
box. And if that makes no sense to you, just
reflect on the existence of Facebook. We have
the vastness of the internet and yet billions
of people decided to spend most of them time
within a horribly designed, fake-news emporium
of a website that sucks every possible piece of
personal information out of you so it can sell it
to others. And they see nothing wrong with that.
