I have tried to 'Run Feff' several times. Including several of the Cu database files one your suggestion. Every time, I 'run Atoms' without a hitch and then when I 'run Feff' I get the error message: There are no feffNNNN.dat files...etc. The output window says: 'feff6' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Aha! I think I see what the problem is. In the ifeffit distribution, the feff6 executable is called "feff6l". This is different from the default when ifeffit is built on a unix machine. In that case, the executable is called "feff6". Artemis tries to be smart and have that variable which contains the name of the feff executable default to "feff6l" on windows and "feff6" everywhere else. It seems something went awry for you, which is mildly alarming. I'll have to look into that. In any case, I think the problme will be relatively easy to solve. Click on the Settings menu and then on "Edit preferences". In the preferences dialog, click on the little plus sign next to "Feff" then on the "feff_executable" entry in the list. Change the value to read "feff6l" (without the quotes!). Click the "Save changes" button and then see if things work correctly. All of this presumes that you have files called "feff6.exe" and "feff6.bat" in the folder where Ifeffit was installed, which is porbably C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\. If those don't exist, then the problems run deeper. If you have another version of feff on your computer, you can set the feff_executable variable to the fully resolved file name (i.e. C:\what\ever\feff.exe or some such). Let us know if that solves the problem!
