Hi beautiful AFNI people!

I had the pleasure to attend your LIBR bootcamp earlier this month... just in time I guess.

Would you mind having a look at two questions?
1) I'm setting up some resting-state data for preprocessing with the help of Example 11 of the afni_proc.py help.
It is suggested to use check_dsets_for_fs.py to prepare the data before running Freesurfers recon_all.
If I understand your update, Paul, correctly this is not necessary at all anymore? Is that true only for a certain (new) Freesurfer version or just a general conclusion?
So can I just mri_convert my data from BRIK to mgz and proceed accordingly with recon_all?

I'm referring to this update:
12 Mar 2020, P Taylor, check_dset_for_fs.py, level 3 (MAJOR), type 0 (GENERAL)
This program has been deemed unnecessary.


Also the afni_proc.py help suggests now using @SSwarper's skull stripping instead of Freesurfers.
Does this mean I just add the -<no>skullstrip option to the recon_all program and change the -anat_has_skull option to 'yes' in afni_proc.py?

2) I use AFNI on Windows Subsystem for Linux (shame on me, I know).
Whenever I use the "whereami" option in the AFNI GUI to determine where the heck I'm at in a brain the program crashes without an error message.

Find my afni_system_check.py -check_all log attached. Any ideas on that?
