Thanks very much for all the comments. I also agree that using dots is
closer to becoming the international standard. This morning I also
asked the students and to my surprise a big majority said they were
infact more used to commas, partly because of excel. As a result, I
think I will go with commas now and for this Ignacios's suggestion of
using ";" only for empirical examples and keep using N(mu, sigma^2)
was very useful.
One final thing: I don't know how easy to implement this but from the
comments I get a feeling that it could be useful to have in gretl's
general options an entry under "language preferences" to choose the
decimal seperator. I think Openoffice have this also.
Best regards
Talha
