Thanks John,

My question wasn't exactly about numbers but about likelihood the program 
will be around for awhile.  I teach at a psychology department with a lot 
undergrads many of whom need to do stat analyses for different courses.  The 
SPSS license sucks for them and an alternative is needed.  I really like the 
idea of PSPP.  However, the first analysis I tried to run was a basic 
regression analysis.  The program did not put the DV into the variables list 
and so printed incorrect output!  Perhaps that was a fluke but it made me 
wonder ("has anyone else ever run this program?")   I don't want to be 
committed to a program with a lot of problems, not a lot of support, or 
which isn't going to be around next year.

All that said, I think this is a wonderful project and I am staying with it 
for now.

Chuck
