Open Microscopy Environment

I hope someone can help. I'm trying to open a kodak .bip file without much luck. I have read the previous post from "jeeep" and have managed to download and open jeeep's .bip file. I guess my file is a slightly different format. The error being reported by ImageJ is as follows:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at loci.formats.in.KodakReader.readExtraMetadata(KodakReader.java:162)
at loci.formats.in.KodakReader.initFile(KodakReader.java:125)
at loci.formats.FormatReader.setId(FormatReader.java:1091)

Any help would be gratefully received.

Would you be willing to send the file that causes this error? If so, and if you need somewhere to which to upload the file, please let me know and I will send you our SFTP server information in a private message.
