I recently fixed many problems with non-ASCII characters in
variable names.  If that is the problem, then using a very recent
version of PSPP (built from sources newer than Monday, April 25)
should fix the problem.

But "Unknown variable format 0" would not normally be a problem
with non-ASCII characters.  Can you send this .sav file to me?  
(I will not share it with anyone.)  I can probably find and fix
the problem.

Thanks,

Ben.
