What's New

RadWare01 was released in Oct 2001
See the download page for details on retrieving rw01 by anonymnous ftp. Some of the most significant changes from rw00 are:

• Fixed a major bug in the escl8r compressed matrix data preparation routine prep, which incorrectly compressed by a factor of 2 and made the resulting compressed matrix asymetric and the energy calibration slightly incorrect. Users with compressed .esc or .e4k files made with rw99 to rw01 versions before October 2001 should create new files from the original matrix wherever possible, and refit their level schemes.
• Added undo/redo gls edit functions to programs gls, xmgls, escl8r, xmesc, levit8r, xmlev, 4dg8r, xm4dg and dixie_gls.
• Added undo/redo gate or data-file-setup functions to programs escl8r, xmesc, levit8r, xmlev, 4dg8r and xm4dg.
• Added new feature to command file (Macro) processing in gf3 for easy updating of on-line livetime displays.
• Added readline call to libs/util/cask.c to enable command line history and editing. This must be explicitly enabled in the Makefile for most operating systems.
• Added encapsulated postscript file support for all postscript routines.
• Added color and better text support to plot, pedit and plot2ps.
• Added .spn (4-byte integer matrix) support to program addmat.
• Added support for .sec files, which are like 8192-ch .spn files.

A more complete list of changes from the previous release (rw00) is in WHATS_NEW_RW01.

A new level scheme directory and level scheme JPEG/PDF view script were added to the site on 28 Feb 2001. This script will let you create figures from the level scheme database directly, without running the RadWare programs yourself. You can zoom and pan the figures, but of course to edit the level scheme itself you will still need to download the data and run the RadWare software.

RadWare00 was released in May 2000
This is a major rewrite, with no FORTRAN code; it has all been translated to C. Some of the most significant changes are:

• Most programs will now accept command line arguments for data file names, etc.
• gf2 is now gf3, and there's a motif version, xmgf3. Several important new features were also added.
• plotspec, plotdata, pseditx, pdplot etc. are combined into plot, pedit and plot2ps.
• gls_conv now has additional calculational capabilities, and can produce tables in LaTex format.
• gls/escl8r/levit8r/4dg8r have some nice new commands.
• SQ command, to Search for superdef bands in Quadruples, added to 4dg8r.
• The HC (HardCopy graphics window) command works now in all graphics programs (gf3, effit etc.)
  Command SHC (Spectrum HardCopy) also added to escl8r, levit8r etc.
• Added live reporting of pointer position to gf3 cursor mode, escl8r/levit8r, etc.
• Modified escl8r/xmesc to allow proper handling of linear combinations of matrices, Compton-unfolded matrices, etc.
  Added program addesc to produce added/subtracted .esc/.e4k escl8r data files.
  Added program unfoldesc to do 2D unfolding (Compton stripping) of .esc/.e4k data files.
• gf3, escl8r, levit8r etc. now trap control-C in fits, and while taking 3D/4D gates.
• slice, pslice and symmat now accept matrices with 4 bytes per channel (.spn files.)

ENSDF level schemes were updated in Feb. 2000.
XUNDL data sets were also converted to radware format and added to the site beginning 28 May 1999.

A Coincidence Finder page was added on 17 May 1999.
This page will let you search the anonymous FTP level scheme files for coincident gamma-ray pairs of energies which you specify. It is intended to make it easy for you to identify candidate nuclei for cascades that you observe when analysing gamma-gamma coincidence data.

3300 RadWare Level Schemes added to the site, for retrieval by anonymous FTP, on 6 May 1998. These schemes are converted from the ENSDF files to the RadWare ASCII-gls format.

New RadWare website radware.phy.ornl.gov opened in May 1998.

RadWare97 was released in December 1997. Some of the most significant changes are:

• Added 4-dimensional (quadruple-gamma-coincidence data) hypercube analysis.
• New 4D programs include 4play, pro4d and 4dg8r.
• Added new compressed 3-dimensional cube formats, and new replay program incub8r3.c.
• Removed foldout.f and pro3d.f and replaced them with foldout.c and pro3d.c.
• Source code now compatible with free FORTRAN compiler f2c / fort77 for linux.

A more complete list of changes from the previous release (rw96) is in WHATS_NEW_RW97.

RadWare96 was released in December 1996.
This was the first release with 100% linux-compatible source code. Some of the most significant changes are:

• Added automatic detection and swapping of byte ordering for some common RadWare binary files.
  
• Added saving of the geometry of graphics windows from one session to the next.
  
• Added 4-byte-integer matrix handling to escl8r and symmat.
  
• Added a new ASCII gls file format.
  
• Added "autocalibrate" and "autobackground" routines to gf2.
  
• Added pan/zoom feature to gls, escl8r, levit8r with shift-mousebuttons.
  
• Added optional decimal place on energy labels (e.g. 123.4) in gls figures.
  
• Added pointer-information display to xmgls, xmesc and xmlev.
  
• Added "Move Mutiple Bands" feature to move a set of bands as a unit.
