But as far as I know, only SPSS 16 runs on Linux. So I suppose that if you have a .sav file, probably it was made on Windows. > In your case, this encoding is likely to be CP1252, however for Matej > and other people in Eastern Europe CP1257 is more probable, in Greece > it'll be CP1253, and in Korea, Japan and Thailand something else.

So, for example, if Matej send me a file who he made on windows, I will not be able to see the non-ascii chars on my windows? _______________________________________________ Pspp-users mailing list Pspp-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-users
