[Ifeffit] Running FEFF

[Paul Fons]

To save Bruce the trouble, I think I will reply.  First, you must 
remember that the horae suite are written in perl and Tk and as such 
they run in compatibility libraries under windows and this can cause 
problems (and often does) so the problems may be unique to your own 
setup (e.g. a clean instal may help, but I am sure others will comment 
more).  Second, your message is basically noise as far as figuring out 
what is going wrong, a necessary (but not necessarily sufficient!) 
minimum is including enough detail to reproduce the problem.  To quote 
from Bruce (I copied his old message on the same topic of bug reports:)


   1.  If I cannot reproduce your problem, I cannot solve it.
   2.  Explain to me what actions you took leading up to the problem
       you are reporting.
   3.  Send me any information, trap files are certainly a good start,
       that will help me understand what went wrong.
   4.  Send me a project file so I can see the problem happen on one of
       my computers.
   5.  If I cannot reproduce your problem, I cannot solve it.  I know I
       said that already, but it seems I cannot say it enough -- I
       still regularly get "bug reports" that are little more "It done
       got broke."

Here again is the whole story on bug reports:

Read the links in the "How to report bugs" box.  They're there for a
reason.
