Brian,
there is no reason to call your work "a thankless task". We all (I mean
powder diffractionist) owe you a lot for your effort to make our life
easier. It would be nice if you make public the subroutines you have
mentioned in your mail. THough I agree with you that for many of us it is
easier to write an email, there are still some enthusiasts.
Best wishes,
Lubo
