New .spo files do show up regularly at the converter webpage. That's

.spo files if I hadn't inadvertently deleted most of them a few months
ago not recognizing the format.)
I take it that SPO and SPV files are very different? How "smart" are
SPV files? I ask because I've had the experience of opening an SPV
file in SPSS and SPSS seems to be composing the results (a table or
a chart). I had the impression that it was re-running the analysis,
but maybe that's a poor assumption. But I believe I've heard reports
that when people with different licenses exchange SPV files, some
results cannot be displayed (because a particular module is not
available on the viewer's SPSS license). If so, I imagine there are
limits on what PSPP can do to display some SPO files?
