Sorry, that was my fault. I apologise.
Just let me add: I checked importing several eviews files I had around and
found no (new) problems. So I guessed from your message that your win
installation was somehow broken and I got a little carried away.
Not a big deal; sorry to be a bit schoolmarm-ish!
It transpired via off-list communication that Mr Shikida's problem with
wf1 files was that he couldn't get gretl to open such files by
double-clicking them. Of course, gretl doesn't claim to be the default
application for handling wf1 so any such association would have to be
created by the user. I suspect the problem was a stale association between
"*.wf1" and a previously installed gretl version.
