SPSS History

Somewhat odd request. I am looking for screenshots of what SPSS looked like
prior to windows. I vaguely remember 3 screens with blue and red. I have used it for many years and someone sent me screenshot of the first windows version of SPSS. I just wanted to see what it looked like prior to windows. Thanks. ===================== To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to [hidden email] (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the command.

You are thinking of SPSS/PC+. It
had a split-screen view with syntax in one and the output in the other.
I designed and developed that. It was called the Review editor.
There was a function key menu at the bottom for operations. Of
course, this was all character mode. Unfortunately I don't have any
pictures, but Googling for spss/pc+ Review editor turns up a surprising
number of hits considering the vintage.

Tim If you want to see what mainframe SPSS syntax and output looked like before PC+, have a look at http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/ibmreg-spssreg-statistics-overview.html and my 2006 presentation to ASSESS (SPSS users in Europe) http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/old-dog-old-tricks-using-spss-syntax-to-beat-the-mouse-trap.html (especially the slide-shows in the latter). There are a couple of examples of FREQUENCIES output on page 2 of http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/uploads/2/9/9/8/2998485/3.1.2__analysing_two_variables.pdf and page 6 of http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/uploads/2/9/9/8/2998485/1.1.3__introduction_to_the_use_of_computers_in_survey_analysis.pdfIn In the latter there are also examples of FREQUENCIES ~ ~ ~ /HISTOGRAM (Satisfaction with life as a whole, page 7) the no longer available FREQUENCIES ~ ~ ~ / FORMAT CONDENSE (Age last birthday, page 8) and CROSSTABS (various /CELLS options: Sex by Happy and Sex by Happy by Agegroup, pages 9-13). These were all produced on lineprinters between 1972 and 1992 using various versions of SPSS and SPSS-X up to release 8 on CDC 2000, ICL 1900, DEC 10 and Vax mainframes. You will notice few changes for the better in publication quality since then. If you want to know what it felt like the first time I ever encountered SPSS have a look at: http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/spss-without-tears.html John F Hall (Mr) [Retired academic survey researcher] Email: [hidden email] Website: www.surveyresearch.weebly.com SPSS start page: www.surveyresearch.weebly.com/spss-without-tears.html ; From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Jon K Peck You are thinking of SPSS/PC+.
