[Ifeffit] Help to run Demeter on Windows XP (So. Muru)

Dear All, I have a similar problem running Demeter on Windows 7 64 bit. It simply makes nothing. I remember that several years ago there was a problem to run IFEFFIT on XP windows machines which were operating under non-unicode settings (in those cases it was Brazilian (i.e. Portugese) and Russian versions). Bruce had solved the problem using another compilation of Perl, if I am correct. Is is possible that the same "non-unicode" problem persists in Demeter? All the best, A.Shiryaev
