Dear Paul,
I thought I would jump in here and say I have been compiling my own version of ifeffit and horae-033 (the last time the day 033 came out). I know something about programming and am very interested in getting horae and ifeffit as packages in fink.
I am currently updating my fink version to 0.7.0, the latest release. I will try to compile the latest software from Bruce on my mac. I will let you know how things went.
In essence the work I now do for myself for the latest horae to run could be used by every one who can type "fink update horae". Info on fink is available at http:fink.sourceforge.net. In other words once everything is set up, I would be glad to be the maintainer.
fantastique! It would be really convenient for me and maybe for others, even though the installer built by Matt has been for me a very nice tool, certainly complementary and alternative
For Mac users there is another (slight) advantage in that the fink pgplot is aquaterm enabled (aquaterm.sourceforge.net); aquaterm is a cocoa application that displays the pgplot output instead of X11. The biggest advantage is that it buffers its input so the graphics can be resized anytime (pgplot does not buffer anything internally so this is not possible in X11 directly). It also allows direct printing and saving of any window (it would support multiple windows let's say if athena and artemis or multiple copies of either were running) as an eps or pdf file (these features are supported directly by the Mac OS so it is not pgplot doing the rerendering). Are there any mac users out there that might be interested.
I am
Stefano, I will be going to Triesete next month to do an experiment with Federico Boscherini (from Bologna as well -- physics department). Is there any chance you will be there?
no, I will go to Hamburg this afternoon for data collection. I usually do not go to Trieste, too long to explain why.
