Please, I can go down as the year of the series from 1700 to 1580?
When I download the Excel data the system will not let me do it!
In the graphical interface, the earliest starting year is
1700. This may be relaxed at some point, but if you want to
set an earlier date, use the "setobs" command, as in
# annual time series starting in 1580
setobs 1 1580 --time-series
You can do this via the gretl console or a script.
