Hi, SPSS - List!

For the first time I try to work with SPSS 10 on a Mac G4 under MacOS 9.1.
I need to import data from several programs - The Observer by NOLDUS
and SpectatorGO! by BIOBSERVE. These are programs to collect data
from field observations; they provide a timebase and several
categories.
That´s allright - besides the time formats offered by TextWizard: In
the definition for a date/time-format they only offer "hh:mm:ss"
while I need decimal seconds. In the help sheet the appropriate
format "hh:mm:ss.s" is offered, but I don´t find a way to choose or
edit it.
While defining the import formats, TextWizard shows the timedata in a
correct way, but in the imported SPSS-file there is only a comma in
the field!
Which is the solution?

Thanks,
Bertold
