Re: [Gretl-users] First time to plot a series after installation of gretl

[yinung at Gmail]

Dear all

I tried many testing of the above script and results are as follows.
Note that case (a) takes about 27 seconds.

I have three win XP computers. Before I keep the following experimental
records, I found the same issue as described earlier. This is the last one I
encounter the delayed gnuplot problem.

A strange thing is that I am not able to replicate the delayed plot issue
even I re-install gretl 1.8.6 and upgrade it to 1.9.1cvs, or after rebooting
winxp and do the upgrading again.

Thanks

(a). Run after a fresh installation of gretl 1.9.1 cvs for windows
(upgrading from previous 1.8.6)

(d) run the script again after (c)

Beginning time ====>0.0000
