One question occurs to me, as I push out the 1.8.4 release: I wonder if anyone ever uses gretlcli.exe on Windows? I've included it for completeness but maybe it's not earning its keep?
Don't worry, I won't get rid of gretlcli.exe without discussion. But my feeling is that gretlcli on Linux is useful (to some of us anyway) because Linux comes supplied with a highly functional shell, wrapped in highly functional GUI terminal emulators such as xterm and its derivatives. On the other hand the default shell on Windows (cmd.exe) is primitive and horrible, as is the default terminal emulator that it runs in. You'd have to be a masochist to run gretlcli.exe under cmd.exe -- or would you? There's my question! (I know you can do better running gretlcli.exe with a decent shell under MSYS in a rxvt window on Windows -- but how many people do that?) Allin.
