Hi Kleper,

That's not Pt foil data.  You got that data from the
examples/recipes/Histogram/ folder in the source distribution.  The
data are from a nanoparticle, so the results you get will be quite
different from a Pt foil.

The purpose of the things in that folder are to demonstrate a
still-experimental, largely undocumented interface in Artemis to the
results of a molecular dynamics simulation.

So, here's the thing about Demeter -- it's brand new software and
still being beta tested.  If it crashes, it's because you found a
bug.  It's not that you did something wrong -- you have found a
problem that I need to correct.



If you are running this on Windows, please send me the file
%APPDATA%\demeter\dartemis.log, which contains the error messages
associated with the crash you observed.  

On Windows XP, %APPDATA% = C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application 
Data\

On Windows 7, %APPDATA = C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming



If you are running this on linux, start artemis from the command line
by typing "dartemis", then cut and paste the error messages from the
crash into your email.



When the new software crashes, a useful bug report contains those
error messages.  If you do not send me those error messages, I will not
be able to help you.
