Well, it *should* work. One thing I can think of:

You are running the *.ini file provided, yes? Make sure that the Cloth.exe
executable is where it can be seen.. I placed a copy in my windows
directory.. otherwise when the post_process runs after each frame, it might
just be kicking up an error each time.

Secondly, make sure you run the scene file once with the 'read_file' line
//commented out, and *then* uncomment that line and run the *.ini file. This
will write the *.raw file initially, and then read it in on each consecutive
frame.

Lastly, I'm sure you're not stupid.. what you have described has happened to
me many times. :-)

Let me know how you get on... if it doesn't work for you, I can send you a
*much* simpler version.
