Hi Mario,
When posting support requests like this, it's useful if you mention
the version of pspp that you're using, and the operating system on
which you're running it.

When I open a specific SPSS file I get this error message, although the file is opened afterwards:
================================================================================================================
PSPP warning: "data.sav" near offset 0xbe8d: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18.
================================================================================================================
This suggests that the datafile you're opening contains variable
attributes, which the latest released version of PSPP doesn't support
(but the version in the git repository does). So the variable
attributes will be ignored, but otherwise the file should open OK.

If I save the file with PSPP i cannot open it again with SPSS 15 (happens also with other files):
=============================================================================
GET
?? FILE='data.sav'.

Hmm. This may be a bug. Can you please post a copy of "data.sav" so that
the developers can investigate this? Please post both the original
AND the copy that can't be opened. Thank you.

When I open the output file only 'Copy' and 'Select all' are enabled options.
What I cannot chose is for instance 'Delete' (very important for me to clear the output window).
Even if I close the output file it will show old output again.
Unfortunately the output window is not very feature rich. The only
way I'm aware of clearing the window is to manually delete the file
"psppire.txt".
