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?
