I think we do a decent job of this now so I'm marking this closed.

Good to know. I'd like to try to build up a library of system files from various versions and add them to the regression test suite. The trick is to avoid violating copyright as we do it. Perhaps we can replace real data by fake data somehow.

I've been doing exactly that over the last 12 months, and fixing problems as I find them.

Adding '"release #.0"' turns up system files written by a particular version of SPSS. The .0 seems to be necessary to get a good number of results.

Putting '"spss data file" fl2' into Google turns up lots of SPSS system files online. Adding '-windows' turns up plenty of them written by more unusual programs. We should test with some of these.
