Thank you very much! It is great that we are starting to have this kind
of cooperation between the various institutions involved in neutron
scattering simulations.

I hope that you will permit us to include your routine in the McStas
component library? Of course, if you have some notes for the
calculations that you could send us to form a basis for a manual entry
for the bender, that would be even better ...
