Speaking of raw GSS datasets, where can I find them to
download. If such files can be downloaded, can they be saved as SPSS
(.sav) files?

I have not used the raw GSS. Instead I have used
the GSS put out by MicroCase. This data analysis engine is so user
friendly that
students can concentrate on the concepts rather than the
tedium.
I recall in the old days hours were lost because I did
not place a "." in the correct place. I started my dissertation on the
main frame
then was able to do work off site with on line connection to the
main frame. Now the whole thing could be done on my note book.
Too
late for me but great for students.
In my view the MicroCase system
blows the other's door off, including SPSS. I can't understand why
everyone doesn't use
it.

in early 2005:

By GSS do you mean General Social Survey done
by The Roper Center? If so,
the latest is 2002, more or
less continuous since 1972, some times every
year and sometimes every
other year. The web site is
http://www.ropercenter.uconn.edu/gss.html The
data is also available
from Penn State American Religion Data
Archive at www.thearda.com and
through ICPSR at
University of Michigan.
