There is no interest from the developers to do this. A while back someone even
offered to put down $500 of their own money and others volunteered a few
hundred each on top to bring this about but it was stated that there is no
interest from the developers to implement this functionality. Which is kind of
weird because CTABLES is the key reason why the Canadian government uses SPSS
at CRA and a few other departments. For their stats stuff they typically use R
or Stata.

I strongly support Robert's view. However, the maintainers seem to be more
interested in statistics than plain old tabulation. Has anyone an idea how
to implement even a stripped down version of CTABLES?
