That said, it *is* reasonable to want to use the same feff.inp file that 
you may have used with feff8 or feff9.

I just finished some modifications (to be available in the next release) 
that will allow Artemis to interpret a feff8 input file correctly and 
use it with the standard version of feff6 that comes prepackaged.

Specifically, the next release of artemis will run feff6 correctly on 
the feff.inp file that Frank provided in his original email.

Cheers,
B
