Sorry if you got this twice. The mailserver was acting weird when I tried to subscribe.
PSPP gave a t-test with p>1.0
Windows version 0.7.2
Data file attached
paired t-test results (see tail end for screwy p-value > 1.0):

Please let me know what's going on here. Is it just a numerical problem with very small p-values??
