A.
BATCH FILES:
delbars.bat - This file will reset toolbars and status bars in SPSS.
expoff.bat - This file will cause SPSS to NOT display an alert when
your license is close to expiring.
greek.bat – This file is similar to generic.bat, but has been customized for
Greek SPSS for Windows.
hebrew.bat – This file is similar to generic.bat, but has been customized for
Hebrew SPSS for Windows.
launchon.bat - This file will cause SPSS to again display the "launch"
dialog when the product launches.
objs-off.bat – This file turns off the Active-X functioning of SPSS objects. It
undoes the work of objs-on.bat. This toggling is needed because Microsoft
has not worked out the bugs in implementing Active-X. This file will cause
SPSS to NOT add output OBJECTS to the clipboard, when the user Cuts or
Copies an object. SPSS defaults to NOT placing objects on the clipboard,
because many applications do not support these (Active-X control) objects.
Pasting or dropping an Active-X object into a container that does not support
them may cause instability. If you decide to try using these objects in other
applications, be certain to test their compatibility fully before relying on them
in your everyday work.
pmalert.bat - This file will cause SPSS to again prompt when opening
large pivot tables or text objects.
wmf-off.bat - This file will cause SPSS to print charts normally. It undoes
the work of wmf-on.bat.
wmf-on.bat - This file will cause SPSS to print charts differently than usual.
In order to circumvent bugs in many printer drivers, we'll print Windows
metafiles directly.
EXECUTABLES:
dregedit.exe - an MS/DOS program that selectively alters the contents
of the Windows registry. It uses dregedit.dat, or specialized arguments
and switches to add or alter SPSS keys in the Windows registry.
spssw.exe - This is the executable that launches the SPSS back-end (the
actual statistical engine).
spsswin.exe - This is the executable that runs the SPSS front-end GUI
(graphical user interface).
OTHER FILES:
*.lic files - These files (00.lic, 01.lic, 02.lic ...) are license files. It is their
presence in the SPSS directory that allows SPSS to run. The first digit
represents the language (0 is for USA English). The second digit
represents the product (0 = Base, 1 = Tables, 2 = Professional ...).
spss.tpl - (this file is actually found in the C:\Win95 directory) - this file
contains SPSS data templates.
75.dat, 70.dat, 61.dat - these are the input files required by rereg75.bat,
rereg70.bat and rereg61.bat, respectively, in order to register their
versions (7.5.x, 7.0.x or 6.1.x) as the primary version of SPSS in the
Windows 95 Registry. Note that they must also be copied into their
respective directories. These files are similar to dregedit.dat.
