Hi, Dave Davis points out that the new isis fit-command names may be somewhat confusing for new users. In particular, when someone says "I fit the counts" they usually mean forward folding. After some discussion, we arrived at this suggested name change: old name new name -------- -------- fit_counts fit_nr eval_counts eval_nr fit_fold fit_counts eval_fold eval_counts fit_flux/eval_flux would stay the same since the intent is pretty clear. The justification: * fit_nr is a mnemonic for Fit, with No Response. * fit_counts may be more likely to evoke the standard xspec forward folding algorithm. Clearly now is the best time for this sort of name change, given that the functions have existed for only a week or two. Any comments? If there are no objections or better suggestions, I can make these changes in the next version (thereby breaking everyone's scripts yet again...). Apologies for the lack of foresight.
