Dear Allin, is this the expected behavior? In the example
above Gretl is saving different series with the same name.
Oops, no, that is not intended. I thought you meant that the series
PC1z was getting over-written, which wouldn't be so bad. Anyway,
this should now be fixed in CVS: we now allow for three rounds of
the alphabet, not just one: from "PC1" to "PC1zzz" or over 17000
series.
