Point bi-serial correlations can be obtained from StatView. The point bi-serial correlation is equivalent to the Pearson product moment correlation between two variables where the dichotomous variable is given (any) two numeric values.

A reference that discusses this equivalence is Psychological Statistics, Fourth Edition by Quinn McNemar (page 218). The publisher is John Wiley.
