Re: [Gretl-users] Creating matrix rownames from varname(X)

Actually, I really do need rownames to label the coefficients from the variables in the list, but my problem is rather that the bundle doesn't play well with lists so to make tables for my Stein-rules based on the variable names automatic (using the bundle) required some trickery. I'll visit the strsub(), which seems like a better solution than my clunker program. Thanks Allin...
