I have recently started using modeller 6v4 (previously using modeller 4). When I ran identical files on 6v4 I got the error seen in the log file below. An example of the type of filename for .top and .ali files is this:

P42460_3-TPR-317-350.ali

When I removed all the _ and - characters from the filenames, and from the relevant lines in the top and alignments, the model was built no problems. Is there a reason why these characters are no longer allowed in modeller 6v4 and if so, is there a way to make it recognise them to save alot of time having to rename all my files? Thanks!
