Re: status update

[John Darrington]

... and here's mine:

I've been doing nothing at all psppwise.  

I also have a conference paper to write.  After which, I think I shall
look at implementing the casereader_clone function (which should be
easier now that the casefiles have been re-organised), and I shall
probably implement RANK, and maybe look at NPAR too.

     Here's my status:
     
     I've been working on fitting routines for ARMA processes to put in
     src/math/ts/. It turned into more work than the straightforward
     optimization problem I thought it would be, so I've been working on
     the details with pen and paper for a few weeks. I should start coding
     it in a week or so.
