All input files supplied by the user are expected to be ’formatted’ (in a FORTRAN sense), i.e. should be plain text of ASCII file.
Non-standard characters may cause problems !
HINT: Take great care when switching from DOS/Windows to LINUX or vice versa: Remember that these operating systems use different end-of-line coding - this means that you may have to ‘translate’ files using a utility like dos2unix (unix2dos) or fromdos (todos).
