Please find attached a zip archive with updated binaries for the data file handling utilities that can read data files created by Sam Webb’s data acquisition package directly (i.e. mview, mlist, mave etc. all work on the .dat files without conversion). 

To install please unpack these files and use them to replace the corresponding ones in your current installation.

Updated installations will be put on the web sometime in the next week or two.

Note that the array positions in Sam’s data files are different than the defaults, for example

1.	Monochromator energy is in array position 2
2.	I0 in array position 3
3.	I1 in array position 4
4.	I2 in array position 5
5.	The fluorescence channels are in  array positions 7-103

$ mlist -array *.dat

Will list the array positions so that you can make informed choices. A couple of examples: 

$ mview -num=7-103 -den=3 -abs=2 my93file_001_001.dat              (should plot the summed 100 element detector fluorescence divided by I0)
$ mview -num=7-26 -den=3 -abs=2 -nosum -high my93file_001_001.dat  (should plot in highlight mode the first 20 fluorescence channels divided by I0)

$ mcalib -elem=cu -num=3 -den=4 -takelogs -abs=2 my93file_001_001.dat -out=my93file.cal (write calibration for data file into .cal file).
