Dear Allin,
the same script goes ok on xp with p=1 and q=1;
also I copied the armax() code to gretl script file
with the same result
Sorry, but by "the same result" do you mean that running the revised
version of the armax() function that I sent to the list, there's
still a crash on XP when p = q = 2? (Though not with p = q = 1?)
Of course xp is a very old stuff but some students in post-
soviet countries and China still use it
I only may guess it's something with arithmetic in dll
In my experience an actual crash always indicates a bug in gretl,
even if it's not triggered on all OSes. (Tempting as it might be to
believe that it's Microsoft's fault!) Well, one more thought: if you
run gretl.exe with the --debug flag, do you see anything that might
be of interest on stderr? (That is, in the accompanying console
window.)
