[Gretl-users] Re: iPad download
Happily confirm that this works perfectly out of the box! :) Thanks a
lot, John!!!
Maybe this should be posted somewhere on the official web page?
I clearly understand that it is more convenient to work from a
computer :) Some of my students just use android pad every day (for
note taking etc).
And the information about userland approach on the official web page
will give a good opportunity for people who prefer tablets!
Best,
Boris Demeshev

Touch the keyboard icon and a keyboard will appear.

Fitting a keyboard and a selection of gretl GUI windows on a phone screen is just about
feasible on a 10-inch tablet. I would not recommend using the gretl GUI on a phone. I do
like the way gretl results are presented in a variety of windows.
