NAME

       gretl - GNU Regression, Econometrics and Time-series Library

SYNOPSIS

       gretl [ options ] [ datafile | scriptfile | sessionfile ]

DESCRIPTION

       gretl  is  an  econometrics  package,  built  around  a  shared  library  which  may  be accessed using a
       command-line client program (gretlcli) or a graphical user interface (gretl_x11).  The program gretl is a
       wrapper  script that calls the GUI if the DISPLAY environment variable is set, otherwise the command-line
       client.

       For details, please start up either the GUI or the command-line client and consult the  online  help,  or
       read   the   printed   manual,   which   is   available   in   PDF   format   via   the   gretl  website,
       http://gretl.sourceforge.net.
