I have added messages about convergence - apparently the
authors did not think that they were meaningful.  Perhaps
you will find that it always fails to converge???

The ZTXOPN messages should not occur.  The one you show
implies that the text file name is either blank or contains an
unprintable character.  The former is checked carefully in the
task and ZTXOPN called only if the string is not blank.  The latter
is checked during the actions of GO and so should not arise.  But
I had a thought - the number of adverbs read was one too few
which could make the last 4 characters of FITOUT undefined
(probably nulls).  If your message came at the end not the beginning
that could account for this.

Anyway, they are fixed in 31DEC15 in tomorrow's MNJ.

You never replied to my query about SNSMO.
