Dear @Deisiany

Thank you for your note. This doesn't strike me as a bug in the code of MrBayes. My suspicion is the format of the input file.

The software states: The error occurred when reading char. 3-3 on line 1032 in the file 'ARF.ex.nex'. How does that character (on line 1032) look like?

Common mistakes while formatting Nexus files are incorrect number of characters specified for nchar, in combination with situations where not all sequences are or the correct length. In addition, special (control) characters are sometimes added to the text files, and/or line ending/file encoding (win versus unix,mac) may also contribute to these errors.

Closing this issue now. If you feel that this is indeed a bug in the code, feel free to reopen this issue.
