Hi, browsing through the VAR chapter again (after a long time of not looking at it) two things seem necessary: 1. add a cross reference to the SVAR add-on, because otherwise people just end up with the assertion "Gretl does not currently provide a native implementation" of SVARs. 2. Say something about the diagnostic tests available. This message is just a reminder to whomever (myself included) finds time to do it... (I was looking at the October 2016 version.) thanks, sven
