Thanks!
There are two things that I would add to the gretl "wishes
list"
(not urgent, Allin, if you think that it is not the time now)
with respect to this type of script:
1- If gretl automatically produces an "environment variable"
indicating whether it is being executed in Linux/Windows, we
could go without the parameter "linux=0/1" used in this script.
OK, we now have this. There is a built-in constant, "WIN32" which
has value 1 when gretl is running on MS Windows, otherwise 0.
So you can do. e.g.
if WIN32
# do something
else
# do something else
end if
2- Another problem with the decimal point: as Tramo uses points,
this script only works well if the user unselect "use locale
settings as decimal points" in preferences. May be posible to
have a "set" variable to force the use of decimal points inside
a function?
That is a little trickier, but we'll get that before long.
Allin.
