disk space, it will slow down the data transfer. In an effort to

I was able to test now, but there is a new Windows-specific bug in the
gretl_export function in gretl_io.py.
The line:
f.write('gretl_binary_matrix')
doesn't work on Windows with a binary-mode file. It needs to be either:
f.write(b'gretl_binary_matrix')
or:
f.write('gretl_binary_matrix'.encode('utf-8'))
To be honest, I'm not sure what the respective drawbacks of the two
solutions are, or whether there might be a Python2 vs. Python3 issue.
But I think both should work on *nix as well.
