Not true. R is, IMHO, significantly more efficient than SPSS. The = xtable() function outputs tables ready for tex and the Sweave() function = can be used to generate tex reports. =20 I don't know why R cannot handle your dataset without recoding.The = read.spss() function in the foreign package is designed to bring in SPSS = data as is. =20 Harold =20 ________________________________ From: mik...@li... on behalf of = bi...@ho...
