That's fine.  You're welcome to ask your questions here.

I'm happy to hear that you find PSPP useful.

Before we release the next version, we will update the NEWS
file, which is more user friendly.

I'm not sure what you mean regarding system files.  As far as I
know, we're compatible with all SPSS system files, excluding SPSS
12 system files with long file names.  I would like to add
support for those, too.

What do you mean by "addition with variable width commando"?

I am happy to add features that our users want to use.  If you
can tell me more about these, then I will consider them as higher
priorities than otherwise.
