[Ifeffit] Possible bug - dathena does not work on XP mode

[Bruce Ravel]

Hiroyuki,

While I cannot reproduce this problem here on any of my machines, I
went ahead and rebuilt the updater package -- making sure not to make
the one mistake that I know of that leads to the error message from
your log file.

I successfully tested the rebuilt updater on 3 WinXP machines and 1
Win 7 machine.

  http://bruceravel.github.io/demeter/

If this still does not work (which seems likely, given that you say
that 0.9.13.1 also does not work), then the thing I would like to know
is the time stamp and file size of the file

  C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\Ifeffit\Ifeffit.dll

it should be time stamped May 31, 2013 and the file size should be 746
kb.

If that is ok on your computer, then I would like you to do a search
for "Ifeffit.dll" and tell me where else that file is found on your
computer.

PS: I added links to earlier version of the updater package to the
bottom of the Demeter home page.  Won't help in this case, but it may
be useful in  the future.
