Yes, I'm afraid so. Thanks for the report. The problem was to do with the VAR, and was caused by an error in the writing of gretl matrices in XML form. This is now fixed in CVS; I'll put up revised snapshots when I can, but I'll be in transit today. An existing session file can be fixed as follows: (a) Unzip the .gretl file, find the internal file that contains the VAR, and open it in a text editor. (b) Look for lines that start with  <gretl-matrix If such a line ends with, for example,  t2="76> fix it by adding the missing closing quote. That is,  t2="76>   # WRONG  t2="76">  # RIGHT (c) Rezip the session file, and change its filename extension from ".zip" to ".gretl". It should now open OK in gretl.
