Stephen and Volkmar, On a Linux system, I also get the duplicate application tag messages as below when testing spm8 in my home directory if I use the "addpath ~/spm8" command to specify the directory location. For me, the tag messages are from the matlabbatch/cfg_util.m script in local_initapps when using a ~ path. With /home a link to /data/home, my directory can be referenced as either of these: /home/user /data/home/user These MATLAB statements give the tag messages: addpath ~/spm8 which spm /home/user/spm8/spm.m spm fmri These MATLAB statements do not: addpath /data/home/user/spm8 which spm /data/home/user/spm8/spm.m spm fmri Kathy Pearson CU-Boulder Psychology On Sun, 8 Nov 2009 19:12:22 +0000, Stephen J.
