Is there some reason why PSPP does not use the same syntax as SPSS?  For
example, the SPSS syntax for a 1-sample t-test is:

T-TEST 
  /TESTVAL=15 
  /MISSING=ANALYSIS 
  /VARIABLES=dollars 
  /CRITERIA=CI(.95).

But this will give an error in PSPP.  PSPP uses CIN(.95) rather than CI(.95). 
I hope this is a bug and not intentional. 
============

Looking at the SPSS 23 syntax reference

ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/analytics/spss/documentation/statistics/23.0/en/client/Manuals/IBM_SPSS_Statistics_Command_Syntax_Reference.pdf

they describe CI as the parameter but in the following examples they use CIN.


The (more or less current) pspp development tree also requires CIN. Would be
interesting to see if CIN also works in spss...
