[Ifeffit] Error in second shell fit

Dev,

Rmax in the Feff card limits the size of the cluster, it means no. of 
atoms, used in calculation of paths, whereas Rmax in the Fourier 
transform window limits the fitting region in the R space. Could you 
tell which values of delr for these paths you obtained in the fit? Is 
the same variable for all paths?

regards
kicaj
