Re: [Gretl-devel] max identifier length

In gretl CVS I have now made a lot of small changes which
should permit an easy switch of the max legnth of names of
variables, governed by the definition of VNAMELEN in
lib/src/libgretl.h.
The changes may of course have introduced some errors, so I'd
be grateful if people could test things, in particular looking
for any broken printout.
Allin,
I really appreciate your efforts, since I would like it a lot if one (I)
could use longer identifiers. And to be honest, while I wouldn't want to
be responsible for a state of (relative) chaos due to my suggestion, I
really think that in the longer term and/or for gretl 2.0 a 15-char
limit is too restrictive, also in comparison with other packages or
languages.
thanks,
sven
