HI
I'm a new EZI user and I just downloaded it to my computer at home which runs XP. It
seemed to download successfully, and I was able to open the program, select import (to
import data). However, I'm not able to get past specifying the names of the variables
to be imported as when I hit "enter" the system shuts itself off and all the
windowns close.
It's probably something simple like I hit the wrong button, but has anyone else ever
had this problem?
Thanks
Melissa Levitt

Hi -- It's no doubt a problem with long filenames, in particular no
element of your path (e.g. "C:\ezi") cannot be longer than 8 character
names and may not contain spaces. So for instance you cannot load a
text file in C:\Documents and Settings\Kenneth Benoit\My Documents. It
also means the filename for your data must be 8.3, e.g. electn04.asc
instead of "Election 2004.asc". Try that and see how it works.
