A quick check doesn't show any problems, exactly the same output. I
suspect that you get bitten by different conventions w.r.t. lag
specification, deterministics etc.
But I don't have Johansen's book with me here right now, so what's the
exact specification you're having trouble with?
Attached you will find gretl's and JMulTi's output for what I believe should
be the same model. You will see the numbers are similar, but definitely not
something you could blame floating-point rounding for. I am using JMulTi 4.04,
as the latest version doesn't like my version of java.
