It would be great if you can get a file posted somewhere for folks to look =
at and see what is going on. Since this is your research data I am certain =
that you would like to find a way to be able to use it and not have a numbe=
r of files not be included.
It also appears that the spectrogram window size may not be set appropriate=
ly.
I hope that we can help,
