Re: Pspp-users Digest, Vol 90, Issue 13

[John Darrington]

We'll try to fix this problem.
However please read http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/faq.html#NonFreeOS

In the meantime I suggest that you work around the problem either by:

1.  Using only ascii characters in your file and directory names;  OR
2.  Using GNU/Linux instead of Windows.

     Hi
     
     I checked this against the last 2 MSWindows builds. (This because the
     version of 24-11 is build with a complete updated toolchain.)  I can
     confirm the issue. And it is indeed something with the non-ascii
     characters. If I remove them, everything works found.
     Strange is that I can walk through a tree with non-ascii characters in the
     directory names, but as soon as I try to import such a file I get the error
     as reported. Opening a .sav file in a directory with a non-ascii character
     in the name has the same issue.
     
     Have fun
