It's lg.out 73656 bytes. from the variable lg in
bjg.gdt dataset. But why does it end up there and not in the terminal?
Thanks for following up. The issue must be the text encoding of the x13as
output (which is ISO-8859, not ASCII as x12a output was). Gretl's handling
of this was fixed in CVS, but just after the 1.9.14 release. So you'd get
correct behavior from a CVS build, or by waiting for the 1.9.15 release.
