Hmm.. I am surprised that XP works without temp. I guess you
have a lot of ram. (and some problems)
Is there a tmp environment
variable? Check it with "set tmp".
It is normal that you have a tmp and
temp environment variable. I would advice:
- In your case, check if
C:\Documents and Settings\David\Local Settings\Temp is available. If not
create it.
- go to "This computer" right mouse click and then
"preferences". Choose "advanced". Choose "environment
variables".
(the names might differ on your computer because I use
windows in my own language. So my translation ccould be wrong.)
- Create a
new one with the name "temp" and the value "%userprofile%\Local
Settings\Temp"
- if there is a tmp environment variable, this should have
the same value. Otherwise I would say create it also. Few programs use it, but
is is better to have the variable and let it point to the same directory.
-
reboot
I wonder if this helps with the issues.
Have fun.

Many thanks for the feedback and the .bat file.
"Is there a temp directory on your installation?"
Three:
C:\Cygwin\var\tmp
C:\Cygwin\usr\tmp
C:\Cygwin\tmp
Regards,
Dave.

Right this is reported before.

It is not that easy. You have to use
the cygwin environemnt. Start a dosbox, execute the .bat file I attached
to this message as *.ba and after that you can start PSPP in commandline
mode.
>I've noticed that, after a frequency
computation, a file called C:\Cygwin\psppire.txt is created - which
contains the output (but the file disappears immediately after 'quitting
!).
I guess this is the only way you can copy the output before
you quit. :-( But this is strange. This file should be in your windows
temp directory. Is there a temp directory on your installation?
Have fun.
