I am doing an ANCOVA under GLM with v 11.0 of SPSS.  There are four repeated

I have just installed spss12 and testing out various charts, barcharts, etc

Thanks

How are they different?

Is there a way to change a variable's name using either Sax or Syntax?
If so, please post.
Thanks!

In an asthma study, subjects can claim to have "wheezing" not at all, every

once upon a time (not too far ago) there was a reduced AMOS version with
8(?) variables freely downloadable.
Seems, this does not exist any more.
Anyone with a working link or a copy?

Spybot appears to have made all of my scripts "Spyware supplemental"
files. The properties of the script files indicate "Type of file:
Spyware supplemental file."  How do I correct this?

Can anyone tell me which version of SPSS (if any) started supporting

I need to read multiple files (not spss, but csv and excel), analyze
data and put them all together in a spss (.sav) file. I have been
