-PSPP produces output in two forms: tables and charts. Both of these can
-be written in several formats; currently, ASCII, PostScript, and HTML
-are supported. In the future, more drivers, such as PCL and X Window
-System drivers, may be developed. For now, Ghostscript, available from
-the Free Software Foundation, may be used to convert PostScript chart
-output to other formats.

+@cindex DocBook
+@pspp{} produces tables and charts as output, which it can produce in
+several formats; currently, ASCII, PostScript, PDF, HTML, DocBook and @TeX{} are
+supported.
-The current version of PSPP, @value{VERSION}, is woefully incomplete in
-terms of its statistical procedure support. PSPP is a work in progress.
-The author hopes to support fully support all features in the products
-that PSPP replaces, eventually. The author welcomes questions,
