There shouldn't be any problem with current gretl on Windows 7. We're going to release gretl 1.9.9 shortly; if you want to reinstall before then I would recommend using the current "snapshot" rather than gretl 1.9.8. (The snapshot is sometimes unstable, but right now it includes several bug fixes and -- to my knowledge -- nothing that's likely to cause problems.) > If you know, I'd like the same assurances regarding Exp, MatLab, R, and > Maple. R should be fine; no idea about the others. Allin Cottrell
