Dear all,

For example I can't run

open http://www.principlesofeconometrics.com/poe4/data/dat/golf.dat

(this file as .gdt is supplied with Gretl as a data file for Hill Griffiths Lim)

But if download it and rename as golf.dat, gretl open it ok.

May be, something like this

open filename --as-txt

will be useful?

It's only suggestion because I can't do costs-benefits analysis:

costs are C code, and at the benefits side I do not know

how many users will need it.
