Ok, I am now safely back from Oxford, so here is my latest development
version of McStas. I should warn you that this is all still in the
development phase, so it may not be as stable as the proper
releases. Just ask me if you have any problems. The new version includes

 - The resolution calculation stuff, with some documentation.
 - The adaptive importance sampling source Source_adapt.comp. There is a
little bit of documentation in comments in the file and in postscript.

You will need to install a new version of mcstas, called "mcstas-1.15
ALPHA". Since this is not of release-quality (yet!), I would like to
know if you pass it on to others.

The files you need are the new version itself:

    http://neutron.risoe.dk/mcstas/support/farhi/mcstas-1.15A.tar.gz

The (sparse) documentation for the adaptive importance sampling (also
see comments in Source_adapt.comp):

    http://neutron.risoe.dk/mcstas/support/farhi/adaptive.ps

The documentation for the resolution calculation:

    http://neutron.risoe.dk/mcstas/support/farhi/resolution.ps

 - Kristian.
