[Ifeffit] Demeter Crashes on opening in Windows Bootcamp

[Ganesh Subramanian]

Dear Matt,

Thanks for that suggestion. I just got time to work on it again. In the
meantime, I noticed your email response to another question of similar
nature. It works fine now !

Of course, I have not yet performed any calculations/analysis to see if
there are any additional problems (if any). But so far so good.

Thanks for your help,

Ganesh
