One question occurs to me, as I push out the 1.8.4 release:
I wonder if anyone ever uses gretlcli.exe on Windows? I've
included it for completeness but maybe it's not earning its keep?
I should have seen this before.

Probably the most useful mode for heavy-duty work with gretlcli is
batch (non-interactive) mode,
in which the program reads and processes a script, and sends the
output to file. For example
gretlcli -b scriptfile > outputfile
Note that scriptfile is treated as a program argument; only the output
file requires redirection
(>). Don’t forget the -b (batch) switch, otherwise the program will
wait for user input after
executing the script (and if output is redirected, the program will
appear to “hang”).
