[Gretl-devel] Re: stata 10 files (Allin Cottrell)
There was a fairly significant change in native file format between
Stata 9 and Stata 10. Stata 10 files are much less widely supported
than the earlier file format,.
In general, I find that the easiest option is to save files in Stata
9 format using the Stata command:
saveold "file_name.dta", replace
I use StatTransfer frequently which you can set to default to Stata 9
file format.

Could you send me an example, please? If it's not too difficult
we can add support.
