But thanks for testing! Just a thought: if the extra 'space' was actually some other character, such as non-breaking space, that could mess up the parsing.

Working on the SVEC_GUI package, I see there was (has been forever?) a double blank in the line: public = GUI_SVEC GUI_plot_SVEC # line already fixed now When using gretlcli.exe (on Windows, obviously) to build the package, I don't get an error message, but I don't get the message "validated successfully" either, and the resulting gfn file appears to be broken.
