I have an elderly version of SPSS (version 11) which I still use. R Version 2.6.1 would, and still will, read SPSS *.sav files produced by SPSS version 11. R version 2.8.1 which I installed two days ago (05/02/09) reports an error and shuts down when trying to read SPSS version 11 *.sav files using the read.spss function in package foreign. R version 2.8.1 will read *.sav files produced by SPSS version 13. The problem applies to all the existing SPSS files I had before I downloaded R 2.8.1 and to several new SPSS 11 *.sav files I have produced since. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
