Re: [Gretl-devel] local comma in gretlcli.exe

I noticed that when I use gretlcli.exe (which I don't do very

Is that expected? If so, how does one switch off the comma for the CLI? I
know about the --english option, but I don't necessarily want to change the
language (although that would be ok as a workaround).
Or is it a bug?
I think we could call it a bug. Some elements in the user's
~/.gretl2rc file are relevant for command-line use, and are picked up
when gretlcli starts. We just overlooked the "lcnumeric" variable,
which governs whether or not the decimal dot is used regardless of
locale. That's now fixed in CVS.
