Hi Wang My name is Joji Kuniya. I encountered just as your file reading problem. I moved the file from desktop(??????) to another disk which is exist Ifeffit program, and changed the file name from Japanese (I have been using a Japanese model PC) to English. So that, Athena program successfully reads the files. I think that Athena program could not read the Chinese word in your file pass. I recommend to you that to change your analyzing file name from Chinese to English.
