Dear SPM Community:

I have updated nmh_acqcorrect.m (phase correcting program) to fix some bugs
in how filenames were being written out. (It was adding trailing spaces
when files names were of different sizes.) Version 1.31 is now available
via anonymous ftp at 165.124.234.101
/anonymous_link/SPM/acqcorrect/nmh_acqcorrect.m

Recently two users of the program have also seen problems with opening
large numbers of files. The error seems to occur when trying to open the
new header files. The typical report is that 70 or 96 files worked but some
larger number (144, 200) didn't work and the error message is as follows

nmh_acqcorrect
??? Error using ==> spm_hwrite
Error opening
/net/den/fmri/Ho/p_ws/adj/ast.sdt_F125.hdr.
Check that
you have write permission.

Error opening file /net/den/fmri/matlab/nmh_acqcorrect.m.

By the way this is not an issue of write permissons but rather that an
invalid file descriptor (-1) gets issued and then writing to the file fails.

I have suggested that the users increase their number of allowed open
files, but it isn't clear that has worked. Has anyone else seen this
problem and solved it? If so please let me know so I can help them. This
has occurred on both Sun and SGI machines, but on our HP machine I've run
>300 files without a problem.

Thanks,
darren
