Hi all,

The subject line of this post may be a little misleading, because I
doubt it's actually an error in FTGET that is causing my problem, it's
just that FTGET is the routine that is complaining.

I have a huge number (~20k) of fits ASCII table files that I need to
access for a program I've written. These files are normally stored on
a server I have access to, but since I am not always connected to the
internet (gasp!) and I'd like to be able to run my program when I'm
not, I copied all of these files to an external HD that I can carry
around with me.

Now, when I'm connected to the server and am running on the files
there, I have no issues. But, when I run with the files on my XHD, I
get a whole slew of "Cannot convert given STRING to DOUBLE" errors
from FTGET. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks, as always!
