I think this is the message I remember, but probably encountered it during a different search since it cannot be called recent. Peter Dalgaard suggests temporarily setting your version to 10.9. http://markmail.org/message/rl3ym7cjo45gpo5n?q=list:org%2Er-project+spss+version http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.r-project+spss+version#query:list%3Aorg.r-project%20spss%20version+page:1+mid:rl3ym7cjo45gpo5n+state:results Despite being a Mac user of long standing, I had no idea how one would do that, but thought a google-search would help: http://justindaigle.com/blog/2010/02/tutorial-change-mac-os-x-system-version/ Perhaps the SPSS administration should distribute free copies of their software to all of the R-Core, since they seem to expect that R-help should be the unpaid support staff for a commercial product. >> >> [[alternative HTML version deleted]] And please do read the Posting Guide.
