Common mistakes

1. #MIF 2.2 must remain in the first line of the file


This first line is not a comment but a required file format identifier

2. Variables always require the $ prefix AND must be inside a [subst ] block

3. Mathematical operations on numbers and variables have to be indicated within an [expr ] block
E.g. [expr $l1+$l2]

4. Omitting spaces between keywords and parentheses or labels causes errors.


For instance
Specify Oxs_BoxAtlas:atlas{ or evolver:evolver are syntax errors.

The Correct forms are: Specify Oxs_BoxAtlas:atlas { and evolver :evolver
