Hi folks, Today Shelly Kelly pointed out a serious bug in the code that merges spectra. Spectra merged as mu(E) or norm(E) have not ever been calculated correctly. There were several problems -- the worst was that the e0 shifts for all groups involved in the merge were ignored. This resulted in numerous problems with the merged spectra. I think I have fixed the problem -- at least the sample data that Shelly gave me now gets merged correctly. There is a new source tarball on my web site. I also added a couple of trivial features to both athena and artemis. The first is a splash-screen, i.e. something to look at in those endless seconds between double clicking on the icon and having the program spring to life on the screen. I also added several keyboard shortcuts for common tasks in both programs. You can see what these are by examining the menus in the menubar. I also added something new to my web site. Athena and Artemis change much faster than Ifeffit these days. The bad part of this is that Windows users don't get to take advantage of my updates as often as unix and OSX users. So today I added a section to the downloads page with links to the executables of my four programs. I doubt I will update the executables as often as I update the source tarballs. But when I do, I'll post the executables on the downloads page. The idea of these individual executables is that you replace the executable in the C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\ folder with the new one. These executables now found on my downloads WILL NOT RUN CORRECTLY outside the context of a properly installed ifeffit package. But if you have installed Ifeffit using the installer from Matt's web page, you will be able to drop my new executables in place.
