Since Blind galaxy doesn't support that option at present, I seriously
doubt that this is the problem (:-)

Basically, Blind galaxy reports are radically different than standard
galaxy ones. Most turn report reading tools fail miserably reading
them.

GalaxyTV and goggle in particular don't presently read them (at least
the copies on the FTP site do not).

BlindGalaxyReportReader.tar.Z
Battle+.c.Z
lgplot.c.Z
are the only tools at the cs.utk.edu /pub/bampton location that work
(or at least once worked) with Blind reports.

There are probably a few tools out there which are not at that
location, which are Blind compatible, but I'm not aware of any.
