[Ifeffit] Importing in Athena

[Dave Baker]

Bruce,

Problem solved.  Apparently, Athena doesn't like directories with the
"#" character in them.  Sorry to trouble you.

Works fine for me.

What's the Athena version number?

Are you saving it to a place on disk where you have write permission? 

B

BTW -- in the column selection dialog, "xmu.dat" is intended for
`xmu.dat' files generated by feff.  Measured mu(E) data should be
imported as "mu(E)".
