Thank you for your answers and apologies for the delayed response, I
had to contact our admin, because of a safety feature under Windows,

I have tried to run Allin's first example, but still got an error

I have no clue, why the script works on your systems but not on mine.
Ah, I've found the remaining issue: it's a Windows thing. The
Microsoft C library doesn't recognize either "nan" or "NaN" as
meaning
not-a-number. We've had a work-around in place to handle "nan", as
written by gretl in its matrix files, but this wasn't dealing with
"NaN", as written by R. The work-around is now generalized to handle
both, in git and today's snapshots.
