I have used Prof. Izumi's Rietan94, and it accepts either xy data or mdi
style formatting (ascii), with only an x start, stop and step size,
followed by 8 columns of y data. It also outputs 5 different styles of
data, one of which contains x and y in the first two columns. It's been
an easy program for me to use and runs fabulously under OS/2 (I have the dos
version). Then again, I've only used one other program (Rikas)...
As an aside,
Does anybody know if Rietan94 or any other code can take into account
theta compensating slits? I can't disable them on our Philips machine...
Thanks,
