Thank you, Tim. I let it run longer and it completed this time and I got the desired output. I must have been impatient and cancelled it too early before! I doubled the speed by running it on my two processors. I think I'm going to try to parallelize to other computers as well. I have still only successfully run it on the subj1 sample data. For my data, it does not create datastart and dataend, retstart and retend for my first and last slices. I will try running it on some of my other data and see what happens.
