Jim,
I looked at the qdec.table.dat file that you sent me. The problem was that it was in 'Mac' text format, which uses the LF char to indicate end-of-line, whereas the 'Unix' text format was expected, which uses the 'CR' char to indicate end-of-line (and fyi, 'DOS' text file use two chars: CR LF to indicate end-of-line).
So for now, do this:
dos2unix -c mac qdec.table.dat
which will convert the file (ie, it replaces LF chars with CR chars).
Also, you will need to add an extra line-feed to the end of the file, otherwise the last line (subject) will not be found.
I will try to improve the qdec code to automatically handle files like this (ie 'Mac' text files).

Actually, scratch that. I had a hunch that I should change my header from "subj" to "fsid" like the wiki guide has, and now the table loads. However, qdec immediately crashes afterwards.
Now my error is "qdec.bin: QdecDataTable.cpp:438: void QdecDataTable::Dump(FILE*): Assertion 'nInputs' failed. Abort."
Is there some sort of limit on number of subjects that I'm running into? I have 179 subjects, and I'm attempting to load a data table that lists out 176 of them. Any suggestions?

Hello-
I'm getting a rather nondescript message of "Error loading the data table" when I try to load my qdec.table.dat into the qdec GUI. I've tried using Excel, OpenOffice Calc, OpenOffice Wordprocessor, and Kate to save my table as a tab-delimited text file. Nothing works. Any suggestions on where I can go next to get a table in the proper format for qdec to read?
