if I recall correctly, MULT RESPONSE was available before any of the PC
versions of SPSS.
I was able to find a version 9 manual which has MULT RESPONSE.
Something like this untested syntax should work. You only need the race
by race table if people endorsed more than one.
mult response /groups = race 'which race categories endorsed' (White to
NativeHawaiian (1))
/variable=gender(1,2)
/frequencies= race gender
/tables= race by race /
race by gender.
