[R] SECOND MESSAGE: Re: Question about R an SPSS

[Ronggui Huang]

There is a technical report on comparison of R and other statistical
software (http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/technicalreports/Number1/R_relative_statpack.pdf).
You can have an overall view from this document.

You may have better chance to get answers if you specify what you want
to do and if R can do it. Of course, R can read data of SPSS format by
read.spss function in foreign package.
