Re: Fwd: How to read the EXAFS information in feff.bin

["John J. Rehr" <jjr@leonardo.phys.washington.edu>]

Dear Feffusers,

  Some formats were changed in FEFF82 in response to requests for
a more user-friendly header for utilities like gnuplot. Although
there were some objections, the feffnnnn.dat files were not 
changed since we wanted to limit the inevitable effects of
change on various EXAFS analysis packages.  

  We'd be glad to consider further changes to enhance the utility
of the codes. Please let us know what you would like to see.  We
could also distribute code for reading feff.bin, for example.

  Sincerely,
  J. Rehr
