[Gretl-users] Re: The Splash Screen is here

[John C Frain]

One of the delights of Gretl is the speed at which it loads.  Even on an old
400 Mh PC loading is instantaneous.  A splash screen may tell one that
something is happening for a program that takes time to load (e.g. Texmacs
or Jabref).  For a splash screen to be effective one would have to slow down
loading Gretl and I do not think this is a good idea.

One small suggestion about the interface (for consideration for some future
version) would be to allow a user to step through a script line by line from
the "script  editor"
