[Ifeffit] problem with Demeter- Artemis/Atoms

[Bruce Ravel]

Matt,

Question 15 at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/FAQ/FeffitModeling is
relevant. 

That said, your are not wrong that the error message that I have
posted is a bit of a cop-out.  I could have all the data imported from
the CIF and trust you to delete all but one of the atoms that
partially occupy a site.  So, the reasonable request is that such a
CIF file be imported and that the situation be recognized and
communicated to the user.

Of course, what I wrote above suggests a fairly straight forward
work-around.  A CIF file is a plain text file.  It can be opened in
any text editor.  You, then, could delete all but one lines of atoms
that partially occupy a site, save the CIF file, and import that into
Artemis.  That's perhaps a bit inconvenient, but not exactly rocket
science.

PS: And to reiterate Jason's point about attaching the file about which
you are asking: http://bruceravel.github.com/demeter/pods/bugs.pod.html
