Thanks Matt! I'll give it a try... --Scott
Sorry, your earlier message that &max_paths was 256 in 1.2.5a (which is indeed true!) somehow got lost in the piles of Ifeffit emails. When I wrote earlier that it was 1024, I had increased this on my own machine, but that was after the 1.2.5a release. This 'super-sized' dll has not been included in any updates -- see below.
I put a couple versions of ifeffit_10.dll at http://cars.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/src/Win32_dlls/
there's a MPATHS_1024 folder with a dll that has &max_paths set to 1024 (the consts.h used to build is there as well). I should say I _believe_ it has &max_paths set to 1024. I'm not at a windows machine as I post this, so I'm going from time-stamps and from my own memory. Assuming it does, this version of ifeffit_10.dll can be dropped into C:\Program Files\Ifeffit. Please let me know what this reports for &max_paths and how many paths you can verify work!
Given the memory problems discussed earlier this week, keeping the standard distribution at 256 paths seems wise. But I should probably make 'supersized' dlls for future releases too (I may need reminding!). Again, it's likely that this larger version will cause the sorts of memory problems discussed last week, and that the Virtual Memory may need to be increased on some machines.
