PSPP should be character set agnostic when it comes to string data; that is, it handles strings as binary bytes. Unfortunately, there is as yet no explicit support for internationalization in PSPP data input and output. The output engine, in particular, is deficient and I suspect you'll be disappointed if you want to print Japanese characters as part of PSPP output. -- Ben Pfaff email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
