I added support to "pspp-convert" for decrypting encrypted SPSS syntax files.

Thanks for the report and especially for the example file.

Thanks for the sample file. It is sufficient.

I added documentation for this file format to the PSPP developers manual. I'm attaching a C program that you can use to decrypt an .spsx file. I will add support for this to the pspp-convert program but probably not for a few days at least.

(file #34894)

Personal note: It irritates me how a company can complicate something as simple as a text file.

I received an email with spsx file. Is supposed to be a SPSS 23 syntax file. Reading on the web, this format is supported by SPSS from version 22.

I can not send the original file, but could create a file for testing from the trial version of SPSS 23 for windows.

File content:


DATA LIST LIST /name (a25) quantity (f8).
BEGIN DATA.
widgets 10345
oojars 2345
dubreys 98
thingumies 518
END DATA.

LIST.

DESCRIPTIVES /quantity
/statistics ALL.


Do you need more test files?.
Cheers
