Hello everybody, this is a pre-announcement that the contributed function package "multiplot" by Artur Tarassow and myself is going to be retired and removed from the public package server soon. The reason is that since gretl version 2023c we have the natively built-in "gridplot" facility, so the multiplot package has become redundant and shouldn't be used anymore. And here's the usual remark that if for any reason you still need the package for your own code, please keep a local copy on your system(s).

That one was submitted by yourself on May 1st, 2023, so it seems that you would have access to the source somewhere. Could you update the archive before we retire the package?

Thanks - sorry, but there's one more thing. You wrote that the gfn file can also be found there, but that's not true anymore. I'm not saying that there has to be more than the source, but just want to point that out. Perhaps the README.md might also mention that it's a retired package, apart from the fact that it's still referring to 0.3. Not asking for more work, maybe just make it a two-liner; "multiplot \n This is the archive for the former contributed function package for gretl which was replaced by the native gridplot feature in gretl in 2023/2024." ... or something like that.
