John Darrington and I talked about this briefly in IRC this
morning.  We didn't know a reason that UTF-8 shouldn't work.

Could you provide a small example?  Perhaps a brief Perl script
and a small .sav file, along with the actual output that you get
from PSPP and the output that expect.

Thanks,

Ben.
