Eric, that would not account for the error -14 (bad input format) which
might indicate a bad file. The error you describe would cause error -7 (bad
filename). It's a known fact that version 2.0.2 had many bugs and was
replaced with version 2.0.1.2 (yes, strange numbering scheme).
As to longer filenames, LIF systems can have 10 character filenames and HFS
systems can have 14. Since CellFit and LYSYS II both run under C32 and
share (to a limited sense, common libraries), the filename shouldn't be the
problem. Have you verified that something over 10 characters or more in the
filename causes CellFit to blowup?
Maybe the filename itself is the problem and not its length. LYSYS II v1.0,
v1.1 and v1.2 were overly exhuberant about the types of filenames they would
permit users to create. It wasn't until version 2.0 that it because more
restrictive. I should have asked for a sample of his filename. He should
get rid of version 2.0.2 at any rate.
