You will see the parameter LAM=1 (no logs) instead of > LAM=-1 (automatic). Thanks, Ignacio. Actually gretl was not setting LAM=1. Rather, when the "automatic" level/log option was chosen (LAM=-1), gretl was not sending any LAM value to TRAMO. That's because I read the TRAMO doc as saying that the automatic option was the default. However, it seems that doesn't apply if the "Standard automatic analysis" is deselected. So now in CVS we always send the selected LAM value explicitly.
