Yep, that does it. I had hoped my use of Kate and Open Office would have corrected this type of thing, but I guess not. Thanks for the new command to add to my repertoire.

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?
