SPSS Viewer Output File Formats

[James BRANFORD]

Hi All

I have been using PSPP as a replacement for SPSS in an intoductory  
university statistics course, so far encountering no major difficulties.

However, for no particular reason, my lecturer is insistant that an  
assessment item be submitted in SPSS specific .spo or .spv viewer  
formats.

I have read that the .spv file format, used by SPSS 16+, is based on  
the .xml file format (which I think was developed to make files  
portable between the Microsoft Office suite of applications).

Would a file saved as .xml, with the extension changed to .spv, open  
and display in SPSS Viewer?

Would someone running SPSS 16+ please do me a huge favour and try to  
open the attached file, and report back with the results.

Thank you in anticipation.
