Details:


On my openSUSE 11 platform using PSPPire 0.6.1 I have the next problem. My
decimalcharacter is "," which is normal in Europe. However, in PSSpire I see
my numbers as 7.88 etc. It should be 7,88

More a problem is importing from a delimited text file. If my test file
contains:

"var1";"var2"
7,88;89
5,3;6,2

Until choosing separators, everything looks ok. But on the next screen,
"Adjust Variable Formats", things go wrong. If I continue anyway I get the
errors:

/home/xx/Desktop/test.csv:2: data file warning: (columns 1-0, F field) Number
followed by garbage.
/home/xx/Desktop/test.csv:3: data file warning: (columns 1-0, F field) Number
followed by garbage.
/home/xx/Desktop/test.csv:3: data file warning: (columns 5-4, F field) Number
followed by garbage.
