exactly
> So far as gretl is concerned, ".dat" is
the suffix for JMulti data files.
open http://www.jmulti.de/download/datasets/e1.dat
works ok
In http://www.principlesofeconometrics.com/poe4/data/dat/golf.dat
.dat is an idiosyncratic extension for a text data file
If I understand it correctly, gretl tries to open golf.dat as JMulti data file
and fails, since it is a text file.
May be, it will be useful to have some text on
renaming non-standard extensions before opening?
