It depends exactly on what sort of updates you're interested in. If you're particularly interested in precompiled binaries for windows, Harry maintains his project on sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pspp4windows presumably there is an RSS feed there which you can subscribe to. The official GNU releases (which sadly happen a lot less often then we'd like) are announced on this list ([email protected]) Interesting new features in development are announced at http://savannah.gnu.org/news/atom.php?group=pspp Or if you want to be informed of every single commit the developers make, you can subscribe to the RSS feed at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/pspp.git/atom/?h=master or the mailing list at https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-commits > Additionally, thought you might like to know that with this version the > select cases works.

Here's one way to do what you're trying: If you have a dichotomous variable called "child", then the line SELECT IF child <> 1. will select only those cases for which child is not 1. You could also use the FILTER command to do something similar. Both these options should work the same way in PSPP as with SPSS. In general, we try to ensure users familiar with SPSS can also work with PSPP, so if you find that is not the case, feel free to raise a bug report.
