Hy Kristian,
<p>This all sounds great.
<br>Please send me your 'clic and run' version of McStas.I'll be glad to
test it. What interface did you use : Tcl/Tk ? Java ? ...
<br>We have a pre-meeting next week, Ian Anderson, Mark Johnson and I,
to organize tasks and fields of action.
<br>A 'real' meeting should follow, with all interested users.
<p>Concerning the Web mirror, you're right, just having a shared 'download'
page in order to be able to add stuff on the fly would be great, and reduce
your work load !
<br>I will talk about this next week (I'm in vacation tomorrow night, till
the 16th morning)
<p>Cheers and have fun !
<br>EF.

<p>Hi Emmanuel,
<p>I am sorry that I haven't been in touch. You new components are still
<br>sitting in my mailbox, I have been intending to put them up on the
web
<br>page but just haven't found the time yet. I promise I will put them
up
<br>this week. They will certainly be useful for other McStas users.
<p>Recently I finished the first stable version of a graphical user
<br>interface for McStas. It automatically compiles and runs simulations,
<br>and is particularly useful for re-running old simulations with slightly
<br>different parameters. If you are interested in testing it, I could
send
<br>you a new version of McStas?
<p>I am of course looking forward to learning more about your phonon
<br>work. Currently we are starting to investigate single crystals in detail
<br>here at Risø.
<p>I am of course very happy to see that there is a great deal of activity
<br>on Monte Carlo at the ILL (I also saw the Monte Carlo proposal in the
<br>Millennium Program, good luck on that!). I is quite unfortunate that
I
<br>have been so busy recently, hopefully this will improve soon -- I do
not
<br>want you to loose steem in your very active work on McStas! So keep
on
<br>sending we your ideas and nagging me when I am slow to respond!
<p>About the web mirror: I am not quite sure what you had in mind. I
<br>suppose just a passive mirror would be of limited use (unless the intent
<br>is to speed up access from within the ILL?). It seems to me that what
is
<br>really needed is some setup where selected people at the ILL could
add
<br>to the web pages (eg. the component download page) so that things can
<br>appear quickly without the need to wait for action on my part. Maybe
a
<br>two-way mirror, where changes at both the ILL and Risø servers
are
<br>mirrored back and forth. What do you think? I should certainly be able
<br>to handle any technical aspects at Risø in whatever way is most
<br>convenient for you.
<p> - Kirstian.
