I'd think we could just use the data file format.  It is in fact platform independent, or more accurately PSPP is able to detect and compensate for platform differences as it reads data.

The portable file format doesn't support important features such as long variable names and string variables wider than 255 bytes.

The currently supported clipboard formats convert data to text and back again.  This results in loss of precision when cut and pasting .

We need a lossless, platform independent format (possibly based on POR files) which can be used when cut-and-pasting between psppire instances (which may be running on different achitectures).
