SPSS portable files would not open under PSPP (which is meant to read SPSS files).
The SPSS specification says the text lines in the portable file are 80 characters long
but SIR wrote lines that were 80 characters *or less* and SPSS had no problem with this.
PSPP wanted the the lines to be exactly 80 characters (ie padded with blanks).
PSPP has fixed this and we also have fixed so we are compatible with old versions.
