RE: PSPP-BUG: pspp 6.0.1 - Unable to load files saved by PSPP.

[Cameron CG. Grant]

I'm running WindowsXP on my work machine, and am unable to apply the
patch / recompile etc.

am I able to download a patched pspp 6.0.1?

Thanks for your assistance,
Cam.

     So, the .sav file was originally made in SPSS, only variables were
     defiend in variable view.
     
     However, even once saved if one tried to load the now saved .sav
file
     one received this error.
     
     PSPP error: "C:\evaluation\ test.sav"  
     near offset 0x10ec: Variable index record (type 4) does not
immediately
     follow value label record (type 3) as it should.
     
     Any ideas what's causing this?

Browsing through the archives, I see that Ben proposed a fix for this
back in January, but it's not yet been applied.

Perhaps somebody with a windows system could try it out and let us
know if it works?
