Thank you, it helps. The files are created with IgorPro, first developed for Mac, and could be that there is an old fashion character left.

For example, it tries to recognize an Athena project file and interpret it as such before trying to interpret the file as column data. File name and extension is not a reliable way to do this, so it examines the content of the file. Your file is confusing one of the tests. It's easily fixable. I will push a solution to github shortly and include the fix in the next installer release. So, what's the problem with your file? Well, yours is a rather strange one for the year 2015. The newline character used is CR, which is what was used by Mac OS9 and a few operating systems that were common in the 1980s. Pretty uncommon kind of file these days. To be honest, I am pleasantly surprised that Athena reads it correctly at all. In fact, the test that gives that error message is something I wrote a few weeks ago. I certainly did not test it against a file with CR line termination. Until I make a new installer (which won't be for several weeks -- I am just about to go on travel), you have a couple of options. One is to simply live with the error message and click the box away. Annoying, but serviceable. The other is to run your data files through some kind of filter that changes the end-of-line character. Searching Google for "convert CR to CRLF" turns up several possibilities.
