Bug #906
read/write compatibility in shadowvui and shadow3
0%
Description
Dear Xianbo,
I reproduced your calculations.
However, this happens only in Windows and does not happens if I create begin_n.dat in SHADOWVUI under linux.
I spent some time to figure out what happens, but I could not get any conclusions.
I cannot propose neither any alternative or work around by now (except installing linux in your computer) .
We will look into that and let you know.
Thanks again,
Manuel
I am sorry I cannot

Dear Manolo,
In SHADOW3, are there any structure change in the output files (begin.dat, star.xx)? I tested that the output files directly generated by SHADOW2 can be used as inputs in SHADOW3. However, if I modify the output file in a macro, it doesn't work anymore.
For example, I generated a "begin_o.dat" file from any SHADOW version. It can be used as a source file in SHADOW3. If I simply do the following in a macro:
a = ReadSh('begin_o.dat')
putrays, a, 'begin_n.dat'The "begin_n.dat" cannot be traced in SHADOW3 anymore. Although it can still be plotted using Plotxy and it can also be used in old SHADOW versions. See the attached two files.
I was using Shadow VUI windows version to test these.

Subject: RE: shadow3 pre-beta releaseDear Manolo,
I found another bug in Shadow3. When I use the Wiggler source calculation, the number of periods cannot exceed 50. Otherwise the calculation stuck (see the attached image). Please give a look when you have time. Thank you.
