Problem running SeqQuest with uploaded input deck

I have a SeqQuest input deck file that I uploaded using the ‘upload’ option on the first tab of the SeqQuest tool GUI. Simulating using this input deck should work as is since I’ve run the same input deck independently on a Linux cluster and it works fine. Yet, I get a bunch of errors that I can’t figure out. Here’s the input deck:

      Hi Ganesh, The SeqQuest tool has a very fragile input parser — it needs a lot of work. Can you send me the file you were using? Thanks for reporting this.
