BATCH FILES:
delbars.bat - This file will reset toolbars and status bars in SPSS.
dumb-off.bat - This file reverses the settings of dumb-on.bat, causing SPSS to perceive the
printer normally.
dumb-on.bat - This file is run for chart printing diagnostics. If a user is having printing problems,
s/he can run this file to make SPSS regard the printer as a very low level printer with a primitive
instruction set.
expoff.bat - This file will cause SPSS to NOT display an alert when your license is close to
expiring.
generic.bat - This bat file is provided to allow users to customize SPSS font settings. Most of
these settings can also be set in the Options dialog box under the Edit menu, but Dialogfont can
only be set here. You may need to run this file if characters in your script do not appear correctly
in dialog boxes, the Data Editor, Syntax Windows, The Output Viewer Outline window, graphics,
or in pivot tables.
greek.bat This file is similar to generic.bat, but has been customized for Greek SPSS for
Windows.
hebrew.bat This file is similar to generic.bat, but has been customized for Hebrew SPSS for
Windows.
launchon.bat - This file will cause SPSS to again display the "launch" dialog when the product
launches.
newuser.bat - enters/registers the user in the Windows registry (inserts an SPSS branch under
the HKEY_CURRENT_USERS branch). This is used to configure a new user to use SPSS on an
NT machine.
objs-off.bat This file turns off the Active-X functioning of SPSS objects. It undoes the work of
objs-on.bat. This toggling is needed because Microsoft has not worked out the bugs in
implementing Active-X. This file will cause SPSS to NOT add output OBJECTS to the clipboard,
when the user Cuts or Copies an object. SPSS defaults to NOT placing objects on the clipboard
because many applications do not support these (Active-X control) objects. Pasting or dropping
an Active-X object into a container that does not support them may cause instability. If you
decide to try using these objects in other applications, be certain to test their compatibility fully
before relying on them in your everyday work.
objs-on.bat - This file turns on the Active-X functioning of SPSS objects. It undoes the work of
objs-off.bat. This toggling is needed because Microsoft has not worked out the bugs in
implementing Active-X. This file will cause SPSS to add output OBJECTS to the clipboard, in
addition to the other formats it places there when the user Cuts or Copies an output. SPSS
defaults to NOT placing objects on the clipboard, because many applications do not support
these (Active-X control) objects. Pasting or dropping an Active-X object into a container that does
not support them may cause instability. If you decide to try using these objects in other
applications, be certain to test their compatibility fully before relying on them in your everyday
work.
pmalert.bat - This file will cause SPSS to again prompt when opening large pivot tables or text
objects.
prtfast.bat - This file will cause SPSS interactive graphics (IGraphs) to print with a buffer size that
is large in size and may result in the best print performance for PCs plenty of RAM and virtual
memory. If your printed charts have missing white stripes, try prtnorm.bat or prtslow.bat that are
slower, but work better for low-memory machines or printers.
prtnorm.bat - This file will cause SPSS interactive graphics (IGraphs) to print with a buffer size
that is of moderate size and will work with most modern printers. For faster printing, try
prtfast.bat. If your printed charts have missing white stripes, try prtslow.bat that is faster, but uses
a smaller print buffer size.
prtslow.bat - This file will cause SPSS interactive graphics (IGraphs) to print with a buffer size
that is slow, but will work with all printers. For faster printing, try prtnorm.bat or prtfast.bat.
regpurge.bat - completely removes SPSS from the Windows registry.
rereg.bat re-registers the current version of SPSS in the Windows registry. You must be in the
directory where rereg.bat resides, and it will register the version of SPSS in that directory.
rereg61.bat if SPSS 6.1.x is installed, this makes 6.1.x the primary SPSS version on the
machine (rather than the current version).
rereg70.bat if SPSS 7.0.x is installed, this makes 7.0.x the primary SPSS version on the
machine (rather than the current version).
wmf-off.bat - This file will cause SPSS to print charts normally. It undoes the work of wmf-on.bat.
wmf-on.bat - This file will cause SPSS to print charts differently than usual.
circumvent bugs in many printer drivers, we'll print Windows metafiles directly.
In order to
EXECUTABLES:
50comupd.exe - Common Control Library Patch (Multi-lingual-version). For Windows
95, 98, NT 4.0.
ACTIVATOR.EXE License Authorization Wizard used to license SPSS products.
ainst.exe Client Activator (License Authorization Wizard) Installer.
AUNINST.EXE Client Activator (Licence Authorization Wizard) Uninstaller.
defrag.exe This utility is used to defragment .SPO files that may collect unused data after
repeated editing.
dregedit.exe - an MS/DOS program that selectively alters the contents of the Windows registry.
It uses dregedit.dat, or specialized arguments and switches to add or alter SPSS keys in the
Windows registry.
echoid.exe Displays the Sentinel License Manager Host Locking Code.
fileinfo.exe Displays version information for files.
OTHER FILES:
dregedit.dat - Contains a list of commands used to populate the Windows registry with SPSS
entries. Used by dregedit.exe and wregedit.exe.
echoid.dat A configuration file required by echoid.exe.
SPSSClientSetup.log - This is a plain text record of SPSSs installation on the machine. If
something went wrong, it might be useful to inspect this file. It is created in the temp directory
defined by the %TEMP% environment variable.
spss.tpl - This file contains SPSS data templates.
70.dat, 61.dat - These are the input files required by rereg75.bat, rereg70.bat and rereg61.bat,
respectively, in order to register their versions (7.5.x, 7.0.x or 6.1.x) as the primary version of
SPSS in the Windows Registry. Note that they must also be copied into their respective
directories. These files are similar to dregedit.dat.
