I just brought up gifeffit this morning -- and I can already say I like it. I was wondering about some simple changes (perhaps I can do some of these myself once I get a little more sophisticated) 1. It would be nice to have legends on the pgplot window -- colors are nice but if one is comparing different data sets, it is really hard to tell them apart (especially if the page is printed). Also one of the things I used to do with the unix environment was to set up a series of different autobak files with different rback settings so I could see the effect of moving the fit window. It was nice to be able to compare all of these in the same graphic window -- it doesn't seem like this can be done anymore (am I right about this?) 2. In terms of documentation, a nice intro would be to highlight the differences between gifeffit and the more traditional unix command line version to help new users get up to speed -- again I am willing to write some of this (if help is needed), but I still need to get up to speed myself! 3. I am not 100% sure of this, but it seemed that when, for example, I had the plotter open and subsequently read in a new data set in another window or defined a new array, the pop-up menus in the plotter window weren't aware of the new data set (at least not immediately). One last thing, on the ifeffit homepage, it is stated that feffit is included in the distribution, but is not stable -- what is unstable and what are the limitations of the feffit module within gifeffit currently, e.g. is it something I can use to fit data? Last thing -- but really should have been first. Thank you for putting all of this effort into ifeffit and then sharing it with the rest of the community. Many people are benefiting from your efforts. Bruce's course (which is still a developing entity I believe) is also of great help in learning more about the different approaches to data analysis. It is my impression that while there is a fairly good collection of knowledge regarding exafs (and less so for xanes), this information is scattered in many different locations (and some of it is very dated). Having a reference in a easy-to-find place is a real benefit to the community at large. It also would have the advantage of being dynamic in that it doesn't have the birth (and death) cycles of commercially published material. I guess all of this is obvious, but I just wanted to say thanks (again). Paul
