gretl CVS status (important!)
by Allin Cottrell
Hello all (and apologies for the cross-posting)
Most of the time gretl CVS (and snapshots) are basically "latest
stable", but every now and then CVS gets a little wild as new stuff
comes in. Well, now is one of those times. So:
* DO NOT update to CVS as of 11 July 2011 if you just want the
latest marginal fixes to a "production" version of gretl.
* DO update to the new CVS if you're willing to help test some major
internal changes. These will make the libgretl API much easier for
third parties to use, and will also facilitate various possible
future developments of gretl itself. (I don't want to expand on that
right now, because I'm not promising anything.)
The internal changes are not (at this point) designed to have any
user-visible effects. We're just looking for any regressions (in the
literal sense of going backwards) from the status quo ante.
If you decide to test, thanks! But please be aware that I'm
currently working through a large set of regression tests looking
for "predictable" breakage. So, for now, please do not file bug
reports via SourceForge, and -- for a few days -- please
hold back on bug-report messages to the gretl lists (unless you find
something really urgent).

A minor bug in importing Eviews's files of panel data
by yinung＠Gmail
Dear all,
I found a minor bug when i imported Eviews's files of panel data to gretl.
You may see the attached two files. The one named "test-dated-panel1.wf1"
can be imported into gretl correctly. The other named
"test-dated-panel2.wf1" has a problem in importing to report an error
message:
Error reading workfile header
I did some testings and guessed that it might be due to that Eviews allows
the "time-period" dated for starting from integer "0" while gretl only
allows for non-zero positive integer.
Thanks

Loops...
by Mariusz Doszyń
Hello,
I've a question. I'm trying to proceed conventional loop for i=1..n where n
is a number of observations but in many cases there are "empty" observations
in data sheet so there is an error. Do you have any suggestions how to make
that kind of loop to proceed or maybe "skip" missing observations?
Regards,

Impulse responses, when working from a script
by amaryl
Dear all,
I have two and a half questions regarding impulse responses, when the
VAR is executed from a script.
First, is there a possibility to access the numerical values of the
impulse responses directly (the values that are printed when the
--impulse-response flag is set)? I would like to have them as a matrix
or something for further processing.
Incidentally, is there a possibility to print the numerical values of
the bootstrap confidence intervals?
Second, how can I access the "graph generator" for impulse responses,
which is in the menu of the model window of a VAR, when I am working
from a script?
Thanks in advance!

Maybe a SVAR gui design could be inspired on JMulti...Unfortunately I have not skills in C programming...With my best regards...flh(Parameswara das)

Dear all,
I would like to store a nxm (n,m>1) created matrix as a database (inside a loop instruction) but I cannot find how to achieve this.
Maybe some of you can help me?

OSX GUI problems
by Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti
I'm forwarding to the list a message from a mac user I just met at a
summer school.
Problem #2 is something I remember seeing on someone else's Mac.
Both problems may be specific to non-English versions of OSX.
Mac people, can you confirm?
