I thought the CRLF problem was solved, but at least in one case it's 
not. I used FEFF 8.28 to generate a set of paths on a Mac (OS 
10.4.7). (The FEFF 8.28 I have might have been slightly modified to 
increase the number of paths allowed or something like that; I don't 
recall. But there were no changes to file handling.) Under Artemis 
0.8.007 on either the Mac or the PC, choosing theory -> New Feff 
input template -> Import Feff.inp doesn't quite work. The Mac version 
doesn't give an error message, but only the headers seem to get read 
in--the interpretation lists no paths. On the PC (under Windows XP), 
errors are generated; they begin:

Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at 
?PerlApp/Chemistry/Elements.pm line 527.
main::_ANON_('Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at 
/PerlApp/Ch...') called at /PerlApp/Chemistry/Elemenmts.pm line 527
Chemistry:Elements::_is_Z(undef) called at 
/PerlApp/Chemistry/Elements.pm line 355

Again, only headers are read in.

Changing the LF generated by the Mac to a CRLF in all the text files 
in the folder solves the problem.
