I will check the suggestions and I thank you for the attention.
What is strange is that it always associated the eviews's with gretl and I
thought it was a normal function from gretl. It was always associated
through the versions.
Not by gretl itself: wf1 is a proprietary format of Eviews and it
would be somewhat outrageous if gretl were to "claim ownership" of
such files; we've never done that.
When I look at a wf1 file in Windows 8 it has a generic icon and if
I double-click it, Windows asks "How do you want to open this type
of file (.wf1)?" I can go in and select gretl to open it, in which
case it opens OK.
Anyway, I will check and if it's ok, I tell you in this list.
Thanks.
