Dan and CJ,

	Thanks for the pointers to PSPP.  It's probably got what I'm looking
for.

Thanks,
Peter

CJ, SPSS is a statistical analysis package along the lines of SAS.
www.spss.com

Peter, you might want to start with this thread over at google groups

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.stat.spss/browse_thread/thread/
b28a16fd478e4723?pli=1

particularly the entry that mentions this link
http://pspp.benpfaff.org/conversion.html

The Perl script that handles the conversion is available via the PSPP
git repository.

Regards,

Dan
