Yes it does! After selecting the file to open, my version runs out of 
memory before it gets to the dialog box for selecting the file type 
(since it doesn't know what kind of file I asked for- wrong extension), 
so it's probably not SILO, but something else. I'm happy to try 
rebuilding if you have suggestions. Thanks.
