Hi folks, This is just a quick note to let everyone know that I have read all of the traffic on the mailing list from the last two weeks. Clearly there are some serious issues with the current release of artemis that need my attention. I am still in the middle of a very busy period and won't have much time to devote to the codes for a couple more weeks, but I wanted everyone to know that I have read about the problems and will work on solutions just as soon as I get a chance. Thanks to those who commented for your input. As I have said many times before, the codes are only usable because of the contributions of their users. It seems that most of the non-bug report traffic was answered to some extent. I probably will not respond to any of the mail from the last two weeks, so if anyone posted a question for me that didn't get answered to your satisfaction, I would recommend posting it again. I also wanted to comment on a couple of things that made me laugh out loud. One was was Paul's comment to Chris Derr asking him to inform the list of the answer once he gets EXAFS all figured out. (Is it 42?) The other was when Doug Pease (sorry for picking on you Doug, but this *was* funny) refered to Shelly Kelly as Mary Shelly. Mary Shelley, of course, was the author of Frankenstein. I would say that it is unfair to burden Shelly with the responsibility of creating a Frankenstein monster. That would be me or Matt, I think, depending on whether the interior part or the exterior part seems more monstrous to you ;-) B -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- ravel@phys.washington.edu Code 6134, Building 3, Room 405 Naval Research Laboratory phone: (1) 202 767 2268 Washington DC 20375, USA fax: (1) 202 767 4642 NRL Synchrotron Radiation Consortium (NRL-SRC) Beamlines X11a, X11b, X23b National Synchrotron Light Source Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 My homepage: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/
