+By default, \fBpspp\-convert\fR writes variables' values to the output.
+With this option, \fBpspp\-convert\fR writes value labels.
+.IP "\fB\-\-no\-var\-names\fR"
+By default, \fRpspp\-convert\fR\fR writes the variable names as the

+this line.
+.IP "\fB\-\-recode\fR"
+By default, \fBpspp\-convert\fR writes user-missing values as their

+.IP "\fB\-\-decimal=\fIdecimal\fR"
+This option sets the character used as a decimal point in output.  The

+.IP "\fB\-\-delimiter=\fIdelimiter\fR"
+This option sets the character used to separate fields in output.  The

+The option sets the character used to quote fields that contain the
