Chris,
There was also a SPSS-11 for RSX and your SPSS for Pro/350 would likely be
a later version. A few years ago I bought the SPSS-11 manual from an Ebay
seller. It looks like SPSS-11 ran a lot like the IBM OS/360 version in that it
was feed a file of input and it produced a file of output (like a batch job).
The Pro 350 version was likely a bit more interactive and I would be very
interested in getting a copy of it. As far as the best way to get a copy made,
it would be great to read them on a M+ system that has TCP/IP or is at least
connected to HECnet so the disk images could be uploaded somewhere. Also, the
manuals would be of interest as well. The SPSS-11 manual I have is a relatively
thin paperback book.
Thanks,
Mark
