** MODELLER Support ** RE: Strange Error

["Bozidar Jerkovic" <bozidar AT oboe.rockefeller.edu>]

Hi,

I know that similar problem occurs when one uses DOS/MS to work on
MODELLER files either through telnet, or by emailing files around. I am
not an expert on ASCII character set but according to people from one of
the Fortran compiler companies it has to do with UNIX/DOS ASCII
character conversion. Unless there is something else... ;-)

Thanks,
Bozidar

Subject: Strange Error


I am having the following error message:

rdpir___270E> Error reading/processing file:  tempalign
recover____E> ERROR_STATUS >= STOP_ON_ERROR:        1       1

I can fix the problem by open my alignment file "tempalign" and resaving
it with a unix text editor like pico, even if I don't change any thing
in the file it will then work fine.  Does anybody know what is causing
this error?  I use perl scripts to write my alignment files and can't
find what is causing the error.  Is there a hidden character I can't
see?

Thanks,

Michael Buck
