Dear Listers, greetings from Paris ! I report a potentially damaging bug under win snapshot (using 1.7.4 under XP). I wanted to copy a script from the user manual and test it in a new script window. The script was not pasted [dont ask me why], and I executed the command by error. Then, GRETL simply crashed. Dear all, this is the Ooops script. I just tested it several times before reporting. Sometimes, gretl opens a box and says: "no commands to execute", after clicking ok all runs normally. But sometimes not at all, GRETL just crashes... It seems to me there is something nasty lurking around causing an instability. I throught the thing serious enough to report before the near release of 1.7.5. I add a screen capture of the last "gasp" from gretl after this misfortune ! cheers all, Franck -- Franck Nadaud Economiste CIRED UMR 8568 CNRS - EHESS 45 bis avenue de la Belle Gabrielle 94736 Nogent-sur-Marne Cedex TEL 33-1-43-94-73-94 FAX: 33-1-43-94-73-70 MOB: 06-07-39-92-75 France
