Hi,
thanks to all of you. I am impressed how many of you responded and how
constructive your comments are. You really care about Gretl!
Your answers showed me that this program will have a future. So I will throw myself into
it.
Can I be of any help to improve Gretl? My C knowledge is frankly very limited. At the
moment,
I can of course report possible bugs. Anything else I can do?
Bug reporting is very useful already and we thank you for that. If you
want to contribute to the project, of course you're most welcome. Rather
than C (which of course would be ideal, but has serious barriers to
entry), we're trying to steer most of future developments towards using
Hansl. You can find the Hansl manual as a pdf file under the Help menu.
Lots of extra methods have already been written in Hansl and are available
as function packages (see under the Tools > Function Packages menu entry).
Chapter 13 of the User's guide could also be a good read.
