Re: test version for MSWindows available

[Alan Mead]

    The 32-bit executable seems to work. PSPPIRE starts and I could load
    a couple SAV files, run some analyses using syntax and the GUI.
    
    We could sure use a better output format... Most of my applied work
    requires that I can copy the output and paste it into something else
    (usually a spreadsheet). I thought you cannot copy from PSPP
    (there's no right-click menu, which is the norm on Windows) and when
    I select something and click Edit > Copy, nothing happens. If I
    then paste, I get either a text blob that's not too useful, or else
    the local URL for a file called clip-1.png in a temp directory. 
    
    I didn't interact with the dataset manually, but John's spreadsheet
    looks slick.

Harry,

The 64-bit version won't start on my 64-bit Windows 7:



Also, I don;t know anything about the mechanics of Windows 7 software, but newly installed software usually is highlighted in the start menu, but PSPP was not. I verified that the executables were all modified today, so I think they are the correct ones (I'm not reporting on an earlier/flawed version).

I'm installing the 32-bit version now...
