   - Wrong positions or formats for observations and effects. Program may not stop and may get wrong results. Check outputs for the number of levels for each effect on the screen.
   - Missing or skipping one or more fixed lines in the parameter file. Program may stop. Check the missing line.
+  - No extra empty line until OPTION or the end of the parameter file.
   - Misspelling. Program may stop. Correct the wrong spelling.
-  - Missing an empty last line. Program may not stop. Parameter, data, and pedigree files may need one more extra line at the end of the file.

   - Scale down observations when using Gibbs sampling programs (e.g., 305-day milk yield 10000kg => 10000/1000 = 10). Program may not stop.
   - A good result does not mean that your parameter file is correct. Always double-check!
