[Gong, Henry]

Hi all,

Here are today's test results with the June 10 build. Thanks for the tip about the output; that should make things clearer for sure.

PSPP: I got the same results as before. New syntax showed up, though:

PSPPIRE: I opened the file in psppire and scrolled down; on this build, after scrolling a certain number of lines, the whole spreadsheet goes blank as in the May 15 build. Note that the June 06 build simply showed a truncated dataset.

psppire output:
