However, I think we should give some standard format for citing the gretl manual as well. The trouble is, I don't know of any established convention for citing material avaialbe on the Web and not elsewhere. J. Doornik, for example, recommends citing the Ox manual as Doornik, J.A. (2002), Object-Oriented Matrix Programming Using Ox, 3rd ed. London: Timberlake Consultants Press and Oxford: www.doornik.com For gretl, I wonder whether just an URL is ok, as in Cottrell, A and Lucchetti, R. (2007) Gretl User Manual, http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/manual/ What do you guys think? Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Economia Facoltà di Economia "G.
