[neutron-mc] Problem with Virtual input

[Chapon, LC (Laurent)]

Dear Peter, 
I am running under XP.
I have tried your example and I have the same problem to some extend. 

The output.instr file create the vout.dat, and it has the right size (860kb for 10000 neutrons). However, the input.instr file does not produce the correct result. I would expect N=10000 in the PSD detector if repeat_count=1, but I get only N=10? Do you have the same problem under LINUX?

Unfortunately I seem not to reproduce your problem with neither
mcstas-1.8 or the current CVS build. Tests done on Ubuntu GNU/Linux
(Debian).

Could you perhaps include some more specifics about your machine
environment and your instrument?

I have written two extremly simple instrument files that work fine here,
see attached.

Peter
