[Ifeffit] dementer Artemis crashing on XP

[Bruce Ravel]

Hi Chris,

It turned out to be a small, easily fixed typo.

I am planning on making yet another new release of Demeter this
afternoon before going home.  I'll add you to the list of people I
email about it.

For future reference, when the new codes crash, they try to write a
file with names like "dathena.log" and so on.  You can find this in
%APPDATA%\demeter.  On XP, %APPDATA% is something like 

  C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data

That file gets overwritten the next time you fire up the program, so
be sure to snag it before doing so.  If you send along that file, it
helps me figure out what's going wrong.
