RE: CTABLES

The value of (C)TABLES for me was the ability to publish the output without 
making edits, and that was always a 2-dimensional table. Never a 3-dimensional 
table.  (More gimmick than value.)  An additional value of (C)TABLES was also 
the ability to nest variables and include sub-totals, often 2 deep, sometimes 3 
(but not often).  Seldom used statistics.  Mostly count and sum.

I think we should take this issue calmly. The SPV format is a way of showing 
the results dynamically allowing it to be edited later form or convert them to 
another format, etc. If it's just a broad topic.
I think the important thing here is to collect information relevant to the 
implementation of CTABLES and also encouraging support for the work that needs 
PSPP project.
Hands who can write code is needed.

I imagine PSPP priorities are implementing more compatible SPSS commands that 
equate to the basic package. I think at this point, is unproductive talk about 
macros.
