Hi Fred (and everyone else who has been asking about the target
transform in Athena's PCA tool),

The instructions I gave to John will no longer work.  In solving one
of the problems George Strbinsky reported recently, I had to make a
rather sweeping change to the Demeter code base that precludes
using the sort of solution I suggested to John.

This means that the target transform will remain broken until I can
make a new update to the Windows package.

The bad news is that I am about to go on travel, so I will not have an
opportunity to make an updater until the week of Nov 18th at the
earliest.

The good news is that I have fixed the problem.  Those who update from
github (linux users, for example, or Windows users who know how to use
git) can have the solution right now.

Sorry for the delay,
B
