Hy Kristian,
<p>I've seen that you added the ILL web page. Great. I think it will stay
here for a while anyway (I'm in charge of this, huh ?)
<br>About the problem of writting 'good' components, the best is to gather
the components, and if we see that one is not really clear, contact the
author to improve this. I'm defining some 'good programmer's tips' in the
ILL web page. Tell me if it suits you.
<br>About sorting components in the directories you gave, it seems reasonable.
McStas should also continue to search in it's component root directory
(for compatibility and unsorted components).
<p>In fact, I think that the 'limitation' that Thomas encountered is just
that he began to think it's too much. But his instrument can probably run
with all informations passed through command line. He also wanted to use
a string instrument parameter, but this does not seem to be handled by
McStas. It could be useful when one single simulation would be used with
various configuration (for instance precise in parameters the type on monochromator
one wants to use, e.g. "Graphite" or "Si"). McStas could just look for
symbols " or ' in command line.
<p>Afetr heavy dicussions with me, Tref has been trying a Runge Kutta integration
inside a magnetic component, in order to describe the neutron spin swiming
in B field. Seems to work... (only alpha of course)
<pre>Cheers. EF.</pre>
