Hi,

Spss especially version 19 on Windows did not work at all until IBM
released a hotfix.
It seems that version 20 works fine out of the box on Windows as long as
you follow the guide to copy one file to get the java access bridge to work.
Of course you need to know that there are special instructions to get
the access bridge to work.

I am looking into the Mac version now, and will report back when I have
it installed.
From what IBM says Voiceover is supposed to work out of the box, since
there are no access bridge needed to get java to work on the Mac.

I looked into SPSS a couple of years ago, and the Mac version was no more accessible than the Windows version.

The best bet, I think, is to write software to calculate whatever stats one needs (or to have someone else do so, if one does not know how to code). The Python programming language appears to be a good candidate for this purpose. Your student might get some pointers as to how to go about this by reading a recently released book. The author's name is Alan Downey, and the book is entitled Think Stats.

I wish your student luck, and please do post any useful information about accessible statistical software on this list. I'm sure more than one of us would find such information useful.

Cordially,
Rafael Bejarano

Just wondering if anyone has ever used the Mac version of SPSS? If so, is it any more accessible than the Windows version? We have a student who is fighting with the Windows version right now.
Thanks,
Al
