Re: experimental support for SPV files now available

[Alan Mead]

Ben,

This is fantastic! I'm about to send you some feedback on three SPV files. The message is about 2.7MB. I'm pretty sure I cannot send such an email to the list.

If it doesn't arrive, let me know how I can get you send it.

Short description: Works pretty well! Which is amazing! But: Images don't appear. Page numbers would be nice. The formatting could be improved which is mainly an issue because of how it would print. SPSS's export allows including non-visible nodes out output (all those "Notes" tables). Editing the SPV caused some chaos.

I've been working hard to add PSPP support for reading SPV files.  I've
pushed what I have to the spv-reader branch at git://benpfaff.org/pspp.

The code isn't really ready for prime time, but if you just want to see
what works, you can visit https://pspp.benpfaff.org/ to upload an .spv
file and it will instantly translate it to a PDF for viewing.  (Don't do
this with your confidential data!)

I know it's not perfect, although it does a mostly adequate job with the
3000+ files in my test corpus.  I'd love to have feedback.

Thanks,

Ben.
