Hi George. It should be 2*(Delta k)*(Delta R), without the +2, but as a floating point number. That is, it is deliberately conservative. I believe the subtle difference you see (that is why the value is 27.06 instead of 27.5) must be due to rounding of the R values on to a discrete grid.

Hi David, There is no explicit protection for disk access to prevent i/o conflicts between different applications (and nothing specific to NFS or other networked drives), but disk access is relatively rare and reasonably well encapsulated. So, yes there are potential problems, though I don't

David, I suspect that you *should* get sensible error messages from Athena about running out of Ifeffit resources well before seeing a crash of X. Not in the sense of Bruce ought to change Athena to report this, but in the sense of Bruce already does report this. Generally, Ifeffit/Athena

Lisa, I think the issue you're seeing is most likely due to telling athena to fit the data between E0+199 and E0+200 with a constant. I'd recommend expanding that range some to give Athena a chance -- if there isn't any data between E=E0+199 and E0+200, Athena won't be able to figure out what
