I have renamed the files with only the first letter capitalized to fix the case-sensitive OS issue.
I have also e-mailed Michael Wyrick to double-check the new Topr.txt file, as it shows the analog transponder only on for four minutes, and it definitely seemed to be on for the usual 7 minutes when I listened to a pass yesterday. I think it's a typo...

Exactly, an O/S thing. Windows (and its predecessor DOS) are case insensitive for file names. Linux (which I run) is case sensitive - EOPC.txt and Epoc.txt are two entirely different names - and the program had an awful time with the apparently missing file. I don't know what would happen on a Mac, but if you have trouble, that's one place to look.

Interesting. I installed the program last night, and then downloaded and copied the epoch and topr files into that directory. Epoch is indeed all caps on the download, but the file in my directory from the install had just the capital e. Upon copying and choosing the replace option in Vista, the capital e is retained with the rest lower case, and the file works fine. I guess that is an operating system thing, then?
