Dana, I agree with you completely. I just learned about PSPP. Out of frustration with SPSS, I searched for an open source alternative to SPSS (which is really a burden to students and faculty with their ever increasing costs and updated versions). Now, I have spread the word about PSPP through my professional listserves. It amazes me how few in Social Work research know about PSPP.
