I am trying to get started using Athena/Artemis. But I have the following problem. My computer is nearly brand new, uses XP and I now have 384 MB of RAM to go along with only 2.71 out of 35.54 GB used on the hard drive. But after I import data into Athena, and give the go ahead, the graphic screen just comes up and hangs up blank. It does NOT graph the data.
I just fired up my Windows virtual machine and download the latest ifeffit installer to see what happens. I see the same behavior as Doug and Scott report. What's more, I see the same behavior using the ifeffit command line program. That is, running "ifeffit" from the DOS prompt, then entering these two commands read_data(file=cu010k.dat, group=a) plot(a.energy, a.xmu) crashes ifeffit. I don't have any advice at this point, particularly in light of Michel's report. I will state (again) that a small number of dedicated pre-testing volunteers could go a long way towards rooting out these problems *before* they get widely released. Of course, I have asked for volunteers of this sort in the past and have received, at best, unfulfilled promises. But I am willing once again to do my best Don Quixote impression....
