Hi Bruce,
I was looking at some Co data this morning, and having a problem whereby the XFit program Spline was crashing when trying to read in an XFit report output from Athena 0.8.059. After some head scratching and fidling, I figured out it was because the XFit report had used Cobolt as the absorber instead of Cobalt. I'm not even 100% sure this is directly related to Athena, although I couldn't find any reference to Cobolt or Cobalt in the raw ESRF data.
Stacey, Wow. The word "Cobalt" is misspelled in the tool that Athena uses to translate between Z number and element name. This is my favorite kind of bug -- one that is not my fault ;-) I'll update that tool on the machine that I use to build windows executables. The next time I build and release a windows executable, this will be fixed. In the meantime, you will need to manually fix that misspelling for all you Co data.
