Hi David,

I am maintaining and developing the code. I am using it
both under windows xp with matlab 6.1 and linux with
matlab 7.2 . With both it runs just fine for me.
The exist('dr') problem is a bit strange and has
never occured for me. Do you have a directory named
dr ? Is e.g. your cruise-id like that ?
Or did you perhaps not start matlab in the recommended directory ?
Anyway, I will include your improvement into the code
and will try to change all exist commands in a similar
way to avoid these problems.

Your second problem can not be solved remotely.
And your try of fixing it is also not a good idea
as there should be no such error at all.
You could make your data available to me (via ftp or
similar) and I will have a look whether it happens for
me too. That's usually the way we try to solve these things.

Cheers,

Gerd
