OK, now we're in business. That's fixed in git.
Thanks, that's great!
One comment: using "mydates" and smpl --restrict is a kinda roundabout
way of sampling panel data in the time dimension. You could do
smpl 2000:1 2000:3 --time
or (with or without setting panel-time) just
smpl 1 3 --time
Yes, I thought so after seeing your "smpl ... --unit" construct. But I
guess the --time option to smpl is fairly recent, though I'm not sure.
Anyway, I checked that it's nicely documented.
One loosely related smpl question; check out these two usages of smpl:
<hansl>
open denmark
smpl 2 ; # "normal" gretl syntax
open abdata
smpl 3 ; --unit # doesn't work
</hansl>
Now, I'm not a big fan of the semicolon in this context, so perhaps it's
better to leave things as they are. Or is this showing some other problem?
thanks
