I'd like to know how to find out which cases belong to which cases
after running a K-Means cluster analysis in PSPP.
The quick-cluster output provides two simple tables, but no
information that enables a user to ascribe a cluster group membership to
individual cases within a data set.
I presume the required data is implicit within the <number of cases
in each cluster> table, but there appears to be no mechanism for accessing it.
Any help or advice much appreciated.

It seems to me that what you need is the /PRINT = CLUSTER option, which
unfortunately PSPP doesn't have.
I will send a message to the author of the K-Means cluster feature to see
if he will add it for us.
I got a reply from the author. He would like to help but, like the rest of us,
he lacks the time.
If somebody else would like to code this and contribute it, they'd be very
welcome. I think this would
be a relatively straightforward job for someone who knows a little C
programming, and would be a
gentle introduction to hacking on PSPP.
