Re: [Ifeffit] Athena problem

Hello I suggest the problem might be "home" edition related. In my experience, XP Home is a poorly crafted subset of Pro and lots of things do not work there. Ron Quoting Scott Calvin :

I think these are different problems. I have frequently seen the problem that Mauro reports, and use the right-click trick to work around it. (I never made a formal bug report because I can't figure out what circumstances make it arise, and it is probably operating-system dependent.) Maura's seems a bit different.

Dear all,

I’m having some problems to run Athena (Ifeffit 1.2.9) in my Windows XP (Home Edition, Version 2002), and I’m writing to this list to get a help. One of them is if I plot a graph using different options (E or k for example) for many times, the graphics window freeze and I need obligatory to close the program. The other is the Pre and Post-edge lines do not appear when I marked them to plot.

Under Windows I've observed that Athena tend to "freeze" on a selected group and clicking on other groups doesn't select them... well, the solution is simply to click with the "right mouse button" to select another group to work on. Maybe this hint is too much empirical, but works very well for me when I have the misadventure to work on Windows machines.
