Re: [Gretl-users] Simple question

Hi Allin, this is little weird. Suppose we run huge Monte Carlo lasting hundreds of minutes. What would be nice: waitbar. I know, this is plastic-fantastic feature completely unnecessary. But what we would have instead of: 1. When we could decide if we run command line version (doesn't matter Unix-like or MS) we would just print progress (10%, 20%,...) in black window. And it should be enough for any user. 2. But in GUI maybe we would plot something like funcerr (just with information) which doesn't interrupt loop. Why I'm talking about it. Gretl (Yes!) is used by non-econometricians for econometric analysis. Many of them have no knowledge about programming, numerical methods, convergence and so on and if program run very, very long they sometimes suppose something went wrong (Windows (not Gretl ;)) hang-up for instance). Such solution would encourage them for patience... I think ;) I don't know anybody else agree with it, but IMHO it would be useful. Regards, Marcin P. S. After last foreign-affairs-semantic-like problems I don't know if we get visas for Oklahoma ;) W dniu 03.06.2012 17:30, Allin Cottrell pisze: -- Marcin Błażejowski http://www.wrzosy.nsb.pl/~marcin/ GG# 203127
