Changes since 0.4.1:
+ Output changes:
+
+ * Output configuration options have changed. Please refer to the
+ manual for a full description of the available options.
+
+ In consequence, you will need to reinstall your "devices" file.
+ "make install" will do this for you.
+
+ * The PostScript driver now obtains font metrics from AFM files,
+ instead of Groff-format metrics files. It can now embed
+ PostScript fonts in its output.
+
+ In consequence, you will need to install an AFM file for each
+ font used in PostScript output. "make install" will install AFM
+ files for the standard PostScript files, including the ones that
+ the PostScript driver uses by default.

A new PSPP extension called "scratch files" has been implemented.
A scratch file, like a system file, consists of a dictionary and
- any number of cases. A sufficiently small scratch file is stored
- in memory; if it grows too large, it is written to disk. By
- default, any file handle whose name begins with # is assumed to
- refer to a scratch file.
+ any number of cases. Small scratch files are stored in memory;
+ one that grows too large is written to disk. By default, any file
+ handle whose name begins with # is assumed to refer to a scratch
+ file.
Scratch files can be used just about anywhere a system or portable
file can be used. Also, portable files are now allowed in most
