Re: pspp-2.0.0-pre2 released [testing]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for all your work.

I remember that in the SPSS user group years ago CTABLES was the module 
that was most cited to be bought after the base module. So, it is really 
useful.

Is the test release somewhere to be found for windows users ?

Regards
