  Description     : An interactive program for XAFS analysis


 IFEFFIT is an interactive program for XAFS analysis. It combines the
 high-quality analysis algorithms of AUTOBK and FEFFIT with graphical
 display of XAFS data and general data manipulation.
 .
 IFEFFIT comes as a command-line program, but the underlying functionality
 is available as a programming library. The IFEFFIT library can be used from 
 C, Fortran, Tcl, Perl, and Python. This allows a variety of user interfaces
 (both graphical and non-graphical) to be written around IFEFFIT. Currently,
 two graphical user interfaces: one called G.I.FEFFIT, and one called ATHENA
 are built on the underlying IFEFFIT library. IFEFFIT and both GUIs are
 under active development, but are fairly well tested and ready for use.

==== Maintainer's Note ====

This software will, unfortunately, have to go into contrib because of its
dependence on pgplot5.  The licences of the components of ifeffit are open
source.
