Exporting to ascii

I am very new at this. I simply have an  SPSS .sav file I want to convert into ascii.
I installed PSPP PSPPIRE, I guess) and I see the columns with the date (mostly string
data). I now just want to export into into Ascii. Is it possible to do it from the Windows
version?
Thanks

You could use the LIST, WRITE or PRINT commands to do this.  See the relevant
sections of the manual.

Alternatively, you might find it easier to use Ben Pfaff's  File Conversion Service
at http://pspp.benpfaff.org

Thanks John for this reply, I have the same issue with non-ascii code.

I take it that this is possible only from the command line version then
(?)

thanks

Everything that can be done from the command line can also be done from the
GUI.  Simply open a new syntax window, type your commands  and select "Run".

Thanks for this but my command line pspp skills are not good enough for
this (basic frequencies with an output maintaining non-ascii
characters).

I know that it is extremely hard to find time for developing new
features, the core devel. team is small and wish list long. But would it
take a lot of effort to change pspp in a way that all output would be
UTF-8?

I imagine that pspp users who manipulate non-ascii-only data are many.

Thanks
