Johan, NEOS has some troubles with non-ascii characters in text files. It should help if you can remove these characters. Jason Sarich On Sun, 23 Nov 2008, johan Garzon Ramirez wrote:

Hello,my name is Johan and Im from Colombia, Ive been using neos lately and it has worked wonderfully, but today I recieved an error from the web page trying to solve my last model saying the following: (I would be really gratefull if someone could tell me what to do or why is this happening.)

thats the link of the error http://neos.mcs.anl.gov/neos/cgi-bin/nph-neos-solver.cgi
