[Ifeffit] Demeter installation (under Ubuntu)

[Denis Testemale]

Hello Bruce.
There are no special characters only letters, numbers, and underscores. 
To be sure, I tried by placing the athena projects in ~/temp with the 
same result.

Actually, I played a little bit more, and the behaviour is really strange:

- consider the home folder /home/denis (I'll write ~ in the following) 
and a subfolder ~/A
- I place an old style athena project in ~: named athena.prj
- start dathena
- open ~/athena.prj in dathena. It works.
- cp athena.prj A/athena.prj
- open ~/A/athena.prj in dathena. It works.
- rm ~/athena.prj
- reopen ~/A/athena.prj in dathena. It says: "/home/denis/athena.prj is 
not readable"
- cp ~/A/athena.prj ~/.
- reopen ~/A/athena.prj in dathena. It works.
- and finally, I replace ~/A/athena.prj by another athena project 
(different), i.e., cp ~/some_random_athena_project ~/A/athena.prj
- reopen ~/A/athena.prj in dathena. No error message BUT the project it 
opens is the old one, not the new random one I replaced the original one 
with...

An additional info: the result of this sequence is the same if I let 
dathena run between each step ((but close the projects CTRL+W) or if I 
close (CTRL+Q) dathena at every step.

What do you think of my Xmas gift Bruce? :-)

Cheers
denis
