Steve, in this case I don't think using or not using -O.int has anything
to do with the problem.  Tian, you are sure that when running
`teqc -O.dec 30 *.06o > /data/new.06o` there are two lines that are like:

     30.0000                                                 INTERVAL
      1.0000                                                 INTERVAL

in the header of new.06o?  I just tried a similar operation and don't
see that.  What version of teqc are you using?
