[mod.computers.vax] SPSS-X system files

blarsen@OSLO-VAX.ARPA (Bj|rn Larsen) (11/18/85)

Our site has been (and are) using the TOPS-10 version of SPSS-X
for some time.  We are planning to discard our DEC-10, and
as a result of this many of our users want to port their
SPSS-X system files to our new VAXen. Is there anybody out there
that have managed to do this? I can't seem to find any documentation
on the SPSS-X system file format anywhere, and the SPSS-X contact
personel here in Europe are totally ignorant about this.

I am aware that the _data_ in the system file may be ported by writing
it to an text-file, but in that case we loose all the other
information stored in the system file.

Any hints, pointers or other relevant information would be
greatly appreciated.
