I run the codes of clemao2 and clemio2 for detecting unit root test with two structure break, but found they are extremely slow. It could take few hours. Does anyone have a similar experience or could you please advice how to speed it up. Your help is appreciated. Gary

Subject: st: RE: Re: conversion using dictionary
What's missing here is what directories
or folders you are saving these files in.
To see what is in your current working
directory, use -dir- or -ls-. The
dictionary file must be in your current
working directory, unless you specify
another directory.
When I used dictionaries I found it
simplest to put the dictionary section
in the same file as the data and always
use the extension .dct for such
files.
