Hello!
I recently the downloaded Smilie V5.6 Evaluation Edition for windows. I am running under Windows 7 Professional on a HP laptop.
Similie cannot start, and shows "Error in startup script",and the log is following:
missing close-brace: possible unbanlanced brace in comment while executing
"if {[string equal eindows $tcl_platform(platform)]}{
set circle_c{&
}
set graphy(anality)"$circle_c_Copyright Simulistics Ltd. 2001-2009"
.spl..."
(file "C:\program Files\Simile5\Run\Simile.tcl" line 416)
Any help would be appriciated.

This looks like it could be caused by your machine failing to recognize the representation of the 'copyright' character in Simile's code file.
Do you know what the character encoding on your machine is? Otherwise, could you tell me what language and locale settings you are using?
Cheers, Jasper.

I think the character encoding on my mathine is Unicode(UTF-8). And the language and locale settings of my laptop is Chinese (Simplified, PRC)
Thanks a lot!

I know it worked OK with utf-8 because I develop it under Linux using this encoding. However I was able to produce an error that looked very much like yours by setting my system encoding to cp936.
I have now created a new version in which the code files are all straight Ascii so should start up whatever the system encoding. I have uploaded a new evaluation version for Windows incorporating this change. Would you please be so kind as to download and install it (using the same link as the previous version) and verify that it starts and runs OK? If that is the case I will patch the other versions on the site also.
Note that you should be able to use characters from any character set in node names and equation parameter names.
Cheers, Jasper.
