Well yes this would be nice. Sorry I didn't identify myself more properly but I do wish to avoid people associating this software with the company I work for. This is a 100% off-duty pass-time! The software is by the way released under the GPL, i.e. the same licence as Linux. | ||

Hello Michel, Now you have identified yourself. Yes, I thought it was you but there was no way I could be sure. My concern is that there are so many people around trying new ways of getting us to download viruses, adware etc. I have had my identity stolen on at least one occassion; it could happen on a website. People ought to want some sort of assurance and I am happy to give one. We do have an area of this website for software; would you like to put a link to your program? Best wishes, Tony | ||

Sourceforge does ONLY allow open source software and if you go to the download section you will see you can download the source code in a ZIP file. And Tony, I am VERY disappointed you don't recognise one of your old students ;-) P.S. A little warning anyway: the installer will download a hefty 30MB from Microsoft, so only install the program while you are connected on broadband. (For the specialists, it is the latest dot-net runtime, you can also download it separately through the advanced options of Windows Update.) | ||

Tony - Sourceforge is generally used for open-source and shareware software postings, but I don't think that guarantees that the software is non-commercial. Michel should also verify that that is the case. Howard \o/ /_\ | ||

Michel, I think you need to give some form of identification before this site is used to encourage people to download programs from an unknown source. Best wishes, Tony | ||

Dear All, Maybe you will agree that one of the most boring aspects of NIR spectroscopy are those days where you are stuck with a large set of spectra and a big pile of laboratory result sheets. Matching them with copy/paste never works because there are missing spectra, doubles, blancs, whatever. So I develloped a little program to help me with this and now I 've decided to shine it up and release it publicly. It will read SPC and JCAMP an allow you to do some common operations on your Y data. As a European, I made sure to work around the comma vs point problem (decimal separator) and I made it possible to paste date/time info into e.g. The Unscrambler by converting it to numbers. Right now, I don't even know if it will run on a different computer, so I am looking for people who are willing to test it. You can find it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yuexia Under the "Docs" section you will find a short manual. The sourceforge site has excellent facilities for bug-reporting and feature-wishing. Maybe we can use this forum for general impressions; how usefull is this to you in your everyday life? |
