Hi! I just updated the source code tarball and the windows executable for Athena. I added several features last week while I was at the synchrotron and wanted to get them out there. New features include: 1. Energy calibration using the mouse. See the end of the Group menu. 2. Data smoothing. The Fourier filter smoothing is flaky and smoothing is a suspicious thing to do in any case. Take this feature with a grain of salt. 3. Save many marked groups as columns in a single data file. See the File menu. This is handy for exporting much data from Athena to a plotting program 4. Fixed a bug whereby the pre-edge line energy range was not being respected. 5. Athena will now tell you how many spline knots it intends to use. See the Data menu. Thanks to Shelly Kelly for the pre-edge bug and thanks to Dean Hesterberg, Suzanne whose-last-name-I-can't-remember, Kumi Pandya, and Mali Balasubramanian for several good suggestions. There are some new notes on the download page for Windows 9x/ME users and a new page about how to write a good bug report. Check 'em out!
