Hi Greg,

I seem to have run into a similar issue as reported by Anne where  
optics2rad only sends out the header information of the optics file.    
I've checked the optics file and it has the "."  you describe in the  
correct location:

void  BRTDfunc    SB60 Starphire_8_front
10
       0.050     0.057     0.073
       0.795     0.815     0.777
       0 0 0
       .
0
9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

void  BRTDfunc    SB60 Starphire_8_back
10
       0.044     0.051     0.037
       0.795     0.815     0.777
       0 0 0
       .
0
9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0


Anyone else having the same results?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Chris Humann
