>Subject: SPSS Proactive Notification - Potential Issue with
>automated file save in SPSS 16.0.x
>
>SPSS Technical Support has recently detected a problem in SPSS
>16.0.x whereby modifications are made to an existing data file and
>the file appears to save, yet the file is missing from the system.
>This problem can occur if you exit the application without
>explicitly saving your file first. This problem has been observed
>when working with larger size data files or saving to a slower
>device (such as over the network) such that the saving process takes
>longer than 3 seconds. It is strongly advised that you do not save
>your files in this manner until the issue is addressed which is
>slated for the next maintenance release.
>
>SPSS is evaluating the most appropriate solution but until it is
>available, always save your file explicitly via File->Save or the
>save toolbar button prior to exiting the application.
>
>If you have any questions or problems, please contact your local
>SPSS support team (
http://support.spss.com/contactus.asp ).

>SPSS apologizes for any inconvenience this has caused. We are
>continually striving to improve our communication to our clients.
>However, if you do not wish to receive further proactive e-mails
>from SPSS Support, please reply to this message with REMOVE on the
>subject line.
