Hi Artur,
Thanks very much for the quick response. The reason my Ubuntu has Gretl 2023c is because
this is the repository version and I do not feel confident to compile the 2025b version.
If anybody can suggest how to access the FRED database directly with a Hansl script that
would be an even better option (The copy of the FRED database included with Gretl
unfortunately does not have all the variables which I need).
I've been thinking about a function package for grabbing data from FRED
(similar to yahoo_get) for a while. I think I have a relatively clear
idea on how to proceed.
When I have a prototype, I'll send a message to the list.
