Thanks for this but my command line pspp skills are not good enough for
this (basic frequencies with an output maintaining non-ascii
characters). 

I know that it is extremely hard to find time for developing new
features, the core devel. team is small and wish list long. But would it
take a lot of effort to change pspp in a way that all output would be
UTF-8?

I imagine that pspp users who manipulate non-ascii-only data are many.

Thanks
