PSPP 0.4.0 (not 0.0.4) does not have a GUI or a data editor.  It
does accept the VARIABLE WIDTH command, but it has no effect.

John Darrington is doing some work on a GUI, but I believe it is
still at an early stage.  It is not part of PSPP 0.4.0.  I doubt
that VARIABLE WIDTH has an effect on it yet.

(PSPP 0.4.0 is actually not released yet, but this should be
accurate when it is released.)
