It is 195 Mb.... and impossible to compress. How do I send to you Matt and Bruce?
You don't! ;-) Like Matt said, you should try to find a much smaller and simpler project that shows the same behavior. There must be something else wrong here. I just had my computer tell me how big each artemis project on my computer is and none of them are bigger than a Meg. I have trouble imagining how an artemis project could get to be 195 Mb. The project file is, as Paul said, simple a zipfile. Use StuffIt or any other zip tool tool peek inside and find out what is using up so much diskspace. That will probably go a long way towards identifying the source of the problem. It is also possible that the programming tool I use to manage the zip files chokes on something that large -- I don't actually know one way or the other. The only thing I can think of that could cause an artemis project file to grow absurdly large is if you are running HHUUGGEE feff calculations. It is unlikely that you have data with measurable signal much past about 5 or 6 Angstroms. It is therefore unnecessary to have feff compute paths much beyond that. If you are setting RMAX to 10 or 12 or something like that in the feff.inp file, then you are generating a monsterous but unnecessary number of paths. 195 meg's worth seems unlikely, but who knows. B P.S. Actually, I can imagine another way that a prior version of Artemis could get to be that big. It's obscure and not worth explaining here, particularly since the most recent version of Artemis does not have this problem any more. You could install the latest then try rebuilding the project from scratch. -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- ravel@phys.washington.edu Code 6134, Building 3, Room 405 Naval Research Laboratory phone: (1) 202 767 2268 Washington DC 20375, USA fax: (1) 202 767 4642 NRL Synchrotron Radiation Consortium (NRL-SRC) Beamlines X11a, X11b, X23b National Synchrotron Light Source Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 My homepage: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/
