Hi,
during a teaching session we got the error message "can't edit more than
1600 observations" (rough re-translation). This was unfortunate, can it
be generalized?
thanks,

This is a limitation of GTK on MS Windows. It may be worth
looking at the issue again, but the last time I tried you got a
rubbish window that wouldn't scroll properly if you tried to pack
more than about 1600 rows into a "gtktreeview" on Windows.

I see. Anything I can do to find out the current status of GTK?

Hi.
The gtk dot org is the place to start. Tor Lillqvist is the lead developer of
the Win32 port. More information can be found from:
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/
and from
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net.
It is unfortunate that most of the teaching with open source programs happens
on platforms other than the ones on which the development happens.
Regards,
Jukka Ruohonen.

I understand that current GTK contains a workaround that may fix
this issue. The trouble is that GTK 2.8 and higher depend on
cairo and don't run on win9X -- so gretl currently uses the GTK
2.6 runtime. I think there are still people using gretl on win98,
and I'm reluctant to try supporting two Windows packages for
gretl.
But it's possible that I can hack around this; I'll try some
experimentation.

Hm, it's not terribly important, but OTOH I do think that being able to
edit the data is necessary. What about slicing the sample into
manageable chunks and asking the user which part she wants to edit?

Yes, that may be worth doing if there is no other fix available.
