Hello Matt and Tsu-Chien,

I am using MacOSX, and editing the file either using vi or textedit. While trying to ignore the error I was getting (I also thought initially it was a problem with format of line ending, but I excluded it) I used the file that Tsu sent to me (Hoping it was a sort of jinx I was going through...). Running the file as received, I got the following error:

So I modified the distances and coordinates, thinking that, for some obscure reason that was the problem, but I get exactly the same error message. There must be a matter of invisible wrong spacing.

I attach the file I am using.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Stefano
