Re: new PSPP crashes

[Alan Mead]

I have no idea about the Mac, but for Windows 7, did you install the
64-bit version? There is a known bug with the 64-bit version and Windows
7. If that's the problem, you should be able to solve it by uninstalling
the 64-bit version and installing the 32-bit version. For typical usage,
you won't notice any other difference between the 32- and 64-bit versions.

The reason, we think, that this happens is because Windows 7 is out of
date and some component that is used in the PSPP build process no longer
works with Windows 7. The solution is to upgrade (or "upgrade") to
Windows 10. This problem does not seem to affect Windows 10.

Of course, there's always the possibility that you've run into a new issue.

The irony of this ... is that the Internet is
both almost-infinitely expandable, while at the
same time constrained within its own pre-defined
box. And if that makes no sense to you, just
reflect on the existence of Facebook. We have
the vastness of the internet and yet billions
of people decided to spend most of them time
within a horribly designed, fake-news emporium
of a website that sucks every possible piece of
personal information out of you so it can sell it
to others. And they see nothing wrong with that.
