Life must be good because I read the website from time to time and use
those programs quite often. =)

Just to reiterate...

If you read the web page once in a while, and use the
following four programs, life will be good. :-)

TVIMAGE
TVREAD
PSCONFIG
FSC_COLOR

Cheers,

David

P.S. *Somebody* must be reading it. Downloads have increased
another 20% in the past 3-4 months! Even more significantly,
"read ascii file" has nearly caught up with "pretty oktoberfest
girl" as a search term. ;-)

I had this problem a few weeks back and to fix it I just got the
latest updates for Eclipse which seemed to fix it. It was bothering
me for a day or two until it got fixed, had I known the solution was
on David Fanning's website, life would have been easier for me. I
guess the RDFWSBPHYB applies to me too.....again.

David,

Has anyone yet coined an acronym that would mean something like RTFM,
but referring to your web site? Something like RDFWSBPHYB, Read David
Fanning's Web Site Before Posting Here You Bonehead, would be
appropriate in this case. This is the upteenth time for me.

Thanks - it worked.

Mark

Here is the story of what I did to get rid of these errors:

Your mileage may vary.

I might be one of the guilty causing the download increase.
Hope you don't mind-
I required my students to read a few very very useful things from your
web site ;-)
I often review a few things from there also.
Its an invaluable resource-Thanks a million!
