[Ifeffit] Unable to run Demeter on EPA computers

[Matt Noerpel]

Hello Bruce,

Thank you for your prompt reply.  The Ifeffit.dll file does exist in that
directory.  It was last modified on 3/16/2015 and is 753 kb.

I will try a fresh install in the default directory next time an IT person
comes by our building.

Thanks,

Matt
