RE: Using PSPP

[Marshall DeBerry]

I think the time is nigh.  I would like to download the latest CVS for Mac
OS X and compiling that to see if it still works ok.  Otherwise, I've always
thought of it as beta software anyway, and I would start preparing it for
more general release.

That would be even easier.  There are at least a few places that
I could use.

I think you may be right.  There is still a huge amount of work
that needs to be done, but PSPP may now be useful enough to make
its availability more widely known.

Does anyone else have comments on this?

That is certainly possible.  I will think about it.
