This is apparently the same as bug #84, from six years ago. I run OLS
models, try to save out put to text file(s), and get error "Invalid byte
sequence in conversion input". My language preference setting was
originally "Automatic", but I changed it to "English", closed gretl,
restarted. Didn't work. Suggestions?

...So i tried to save to csv instead, and initially it worked . But then I
did White's test, which (very conveniently) drops the output on not only a
separate window but also appends it to the orginal output. But if i save
the original output as csv, the label "White's test for heteroskedasticity"
appears, but not the actual results of the test. The separate window for
the White's output has no file--> save as menu option, but if I
right-click, i can finally get that save to yet another file. It would be
much nicer if the White's test results -- rather than merely the label
(which is surprising) -- showed up on the original output csv
It may seem like I'm complaining about trivia, but if I run 20 or 30 OLS
models and save them all to csv files, I can very easily write a small
Python script to scoop all those files up, pick and choose the output i
want, and write it all out to one nice little summary table. Copy/paste
that one table to my research, big time saver. Thanks for your help.

Confirmed here. That's a bug; it will be fixed befpre long.
The separate window for the White's output has no file--> save
as
menu option, [...]
Its has a Save as... button on its toolbar for that purpose.

Please tell us what platform this is on, which version of gretl, and
what your locale is.

The point you mention was fixed last year, in gretl 1.9.13; please
update (the current version is 1.9.14).

Sorry again. Of course the very first thing I did, after i encountered this
problem, was to try the "check for updates" option on the Help menu. I got
the message "There are no new files on the server." That's why I resorted
to this list.
I will now manually navigate to your website and search for the update.
Thanks!

Apart from the fact that I am usually very well informed about new
versions, I also remember that this built-in update check somehow never
(?) worked for me, either. Maybe it's time to get to the bottom of this
problem...
