Dear Bruce, with the suggestion of Leandro I can do what I want to. So, thanks again Leandro for your help! This is just a very small bug that may happen, Athena and friends programs work very well in my opinion! I have to thank you Bruce, and also your colleagues (Matt Newville and others), to make such programs available for free. It is very important for the dissemination of science all over the world. As Dr. Abdus Salam (physics Nobel laureate in 1979) said: "Scientific thought is the common heritage of mankind" All the best, Ismael.
Ismael,
Well.... I did something very silly. As Leandro surmised, Athena writes mu(E) rather normalized mu(E) to the peak fitting log file. I am rather perplexed as to how I did not notice that before.... I guess you get what you pay for, eh? ;-)
Anyway, the problem is fixed in svn. I will rebuild the athena executable next week and make an update. In the meantime Leandro suggested a fairly simple work-around, which I too would recommend.

Hi folks,
I´ve been working on Xanes peaks fitting with Athena (last version) and I found a strange behaviour. I get a "good" fit looking to the Graphics Window of Athena and to the minimized parameters (R-factor, etc). However, when I use the data of the fit generated by Athena "write a log file" feature and plot them in Origin, the fit looks bad! In order to get a "good looking" fit in Origin I have to change the parameters ad-hoc in Athena fitting dialog box. When I do this, the fit looks bad in Athena Graphics window and better in Origin. The values that are inserted ad-hoc in Athena are not the optimized ones from the fitting procedure output. I have attached the log file from Athena fit and two figures: a PS figure from Athena and a JPG figure from Origin. It resembles that the generated data from Athena are not exactly these ones that I see in the Graphics window!
I´m looking for help from someone out there.
Kind regards, Ismael.
