Odd occurance of Vensim freezing system with no run name BUT ...

[rdudley]

I was looking through models from "The System Zoo" by Hartmut Bossel and each time I opened a model and tried to run it, Vensim correctly pointed out that the was no run name. When I click OK Vensim tries to run anyway and freezes my system... forcing me to "ctl alt del" to open task manager so I could close Vensim.

Actually Vensim works correctly if there really is no model name, BUT the Models I opened from The System Zoo have a single decimal point (period / full stop) in the run name space. Just though you'd like to know.

What version of Vensim are you using and on Mac or Windows?

I've just tried this on the latest version and it seems fine.

Installed DSS 10.1.4 and problem is gone. I can now name data files ..vdfx
