title: Translate SPSS syntax files to R source code
body: <p>A friend is in search of a method to translate SPSS 'syntax' files to semantically equivalent R source code files.</p>
  
  <p>I suppose, no one ever wrote a translator. But maybe I'm wrong.</p>
  
  <p>PS: Please excuse the wrong use of 'syntax': People using SPSS tend to name an SPSS source program a 'syntax file' ;-)</p>
