Hi folks,
I received the email below from a new Ifeffit user. Apparently he is
having sporadic problems trying to run the programs on Windows ME.
Given that he is able to run Athena but not Artemis, I am confused.
And I do not have a machine running ME on which I can try to fin a
solution. Do any of you have a suggestion for him? (Although
"upgrade to Windows XP" and "run linux instead" are both valid
suggestions, I am guessing he is looking for a way to actually run the
codes on ME.)
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Bruce, Yuni, Everyone, The main issue is that the batch files to run the Ifeffit programs have SET IFEFFIT_DIR=C:\Program Files\Ifeffit which is correct for Win NT, 2000, XP, but fails on 95/98/Me because of the space in 'Program Files'. The problem can be avoided in one of two ways: 1. change the *.bat file to say SET IFEFFIT_DIR="C:\Program Files\Ifeffit" This appears to work on 95/98/Me but not 2000/XP!! 2. install Ifeffit into a directory without a space in the directory name, such as C:\ifeffit The reports I hear are that both of these work. I'm putting the finishing touches on the windows installer for 1.0077. I'm not sure I can fix this problem for this round, but I'll look into a way of auto-detecting 2000/XP v 98/Me. --Matt
