I am a new R user attempting to convert files from Statistica to R. I can export from Statistica to SPSS .por format, but not to the SPSS .sav format. Is there a procedure for easily accomplishing this, which will allow me to keep variable short and long labels (big surveys LOTS of time to replace all this work).

(or ASCII files if nothing else works...) Uwe Ligges
Unfortunately the dataload web site is down because dataload is no longer longer being offered. There is a commercial offering called Stat Transfer (see www.stattransfer.com) but I have never used it so don't know more.
