Hi Bradley, This appears to be an example of a problem that I thought I had fixed some time ago. The thing making Athena unhappy is the length of the line of column labels in your file. This triggers a mistake in how Athena communicates with Ifeffit. I will fix this for the next release. For the short term, the best work-around I can suggest is delete the line with the column labels and replace it with hash (#) character. This will avoid the mistake Athena is making and present the column labels as numbers (1 2 3 etc) in the column selection dialog. Obviously that will be a hassle if you have a mountain of data....

When importing new data into Athena it crashes on my Window XP computer. The column selection window opens and it freezes. I've attached a file for you. I don't have the same problem with project files. If I create a prj file in the old Athena I can then import it to the newest version of Athena and operate with no problems. I know at least one other person who has the same issue. Thanks for your time. (See attached file: As_P2.002) Respectfully, Bradley W.
