Hello Martin,

My questions are... Good to know that you are using pspp :D > 1.)

There's more than one. Some of they save the output on the location that you've started pspp. If you run it from a desktop icon, it should save output to desktop, and so on. Newer versions save it on the user's home folder. On windows vista it should be something like c:\users\YOURUSERNAME\ > and I am not sure what to do with it once I do find > it. Can you point me the right direction? The png output its an image, like a jpeg or git. Once you found it, you can double click it and see the output. > 2.)

There's an pspp documentation who list all of it features. Take a look on: http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/pspp.html You can see which function has plots by searching the word "PLOT" on the documentation. > Incidently, when I attempt to produce a piechart using > FREQUENCIES, PSPP closes down?! Can you please tell us which command did you use who makes pspp to crash? If possible, can you send us the file who crash it? _______________________________________________ Pspp-users mailing list Pspp-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-users
