Any programmers interested in adding new or improved features and functionality into FIT2D are welcome to contact me. Extra manpower is always useful. FIT2D may well provide a good framework for your data analysis developments e.g. An environment of file input/output and data display already exists together with facilities to allow definition and execution of macros. Such added code would remain the copyright of the author(s), but the author(s) would have to accept the distribution of the code under the same conditions as given in Appendices E and F.
Such code would need to follow a number of general guidelines which are necessary in order to maintain the integrity of FIT2D i.e. prevent one part of the program corrupting another part:
Use of these conventions makes understanding the program and program structure much easier, and may allow automatic identification and processing of particular elements e.g. pointers.
