Dear Anastasia & all. I fixed it.
The problem was my LOCALE setting which leads to different handling of decimal separators by awk (for further details see http://objectmix.com/awk/716715-awk-different-decimal-separator-different-linux-distros.html). My original setting was: % locale LANG="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Therefore awk used the comma as decimal separator. In order to change this I added the following line to the .tcshrc file: setenv LC_ALL en_US resulting in: % locale LANG="de_CH.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_ALL="en_US" Now the bvec rotation and correction works fine. Is your setting en_US or another format (e.g. en_US.ISO8859-1, en_US.ISO8859-15, en_US.US-ASCII, en_US.UTF-8)? Anastasia and Priti, thank you for your time.
