OFF file input has problems under Windows OSes. If the file is saved 
with Windows line endings(CR LF) then the OFF scanner fails to load it 
properly.
If you are a Windows user make sure you don't open-save the files with 
notepad, use a third party editor that recognizes the format of line ending.
