I think this should be fixed, as reading the .stoch, .core and .time<br>
files is the simplest way to load a problem. Otherwise, it is impossible<br>
to write code that will work on examples provided by a non technical savvy
<br>
user, as everything has to be coded and recompiled when using the
<br>
"direct interface pattern".<br>
