Great!
However, I did experience what was maybe an infinite loop
problem. I'm not saying it's new, because I discovered it by
mistakenly typing a line I didn't really mean.
A two-liner is enough to demonstrate:
<script>
open [a data file with >500 variables, >200 obs each]
print
</script>
And gretl doesn't respond anymore (on Windows, with the snapshot
that is already versioned as 1.7.5), with CPU at 100%.
Of course I can't prove it's really due to the number of
variables, but that's what comes to my mind given what 'print'
does. By construction the file is a bit large for the mailing
list, but of course I can send it off-list if needed.
If you wouldn't mind sending the data file off-list, I'll be
interested to take a look. 500 * 200 or thereabouts does
not sound as if it should be excessive. Thanks.
Allin.
