downsizing, found SPSS software

[pyotr filipivich]

Naturally, after I toss the manual, find the software. Actually this
comes with the manuals - complete set.

Id picked up a copy of SPSS (Statistical Processing for Social
Sciences) years ago. I'd used it in college and where I got this I do
not recall.
But I always meant to install it "sometime". But I need the Shelf
Space, so if anyone wants a copy, it is intended for the Windows
System (3.1 or later) and is designed for the IBM PC series with at
least 4MB of RAM. And a 5 1/4 in floppy drive. That's the deal killer
for me. B-)

What do you mean by deal killer? The 32-bit version of Windows XP can run
most 16-bit Windows 3.x applications.

That especially.

I've been finding all sorts of software and files on 5.25" (and
3.5) disks. The bummer are the ones for Apple ][e.

Ah, true. Unfortunately, I think the XP box got sent to recycle
heaven.

Well, if he's offering a copy, it means that he can read the floppy disk
using a floppy drive he already have. The copy doesn't have to be in form of
a physical floppy disk too. It can be a disk image file, where it can be
mounted using FileDisk, or its contents be extracted using WinImage or
7-Zip. Or just a ZIP file of the floppy disk contents (though it won't be a
100% copy of the floppy disk).
