Help with modFit of FME package

Dear R users,

I'm trying to fit a set an ODE to an experimental time series. In the
attachment you find the R code I wrote using modFit and modCost of FME
package and the file of the time series.
This is getting a bit tiresome. None of the three duplicate such  
messages have had successful attachment of any code. Why don't you  
look at what got distributed to the list?

The rule I have developed is that I should assume that any file not  
ending in .pdf or .txt will get scrubbed by the mail server. I realize  
it is not an exact rule, but it keeps me from submitting files ending  
in .r or .rdata because I know they will get scrubbed. For some reason  
a recent rewrite of the Posting Guide appears to have left out this  
information which my memory tells me used to be there last year.
