Re: PharmPK Re: NMTRAN error

Coen suggests using # as the ignore character and proposes to add IGNORE=# to the $DATA record. In fact things can be simpler than that. The default value for IGNORE is # so if you use # in your data file you dont have to waste time adding IGNORE=# :-) I dont know where this strange idea of ignoring the default and using C comes from -- but it is an unfortunate way to teach people how to use NM-TRAN.
