Re: more local models questions

Thanks Mike,

Adding the -udmget option did allow TBnew to load, for ISIS at least. I 
am not sure how to evaluate whether it's working properly, but at least 
now I can tinker.

However, I still cannot seem to get dustscat to load for me in either 
XSPEC or ISIS (I'm using xsdustscat files that Joey kindly sent me). Has 
anyone else encountered trouble with these, or is there an alternative 
dust scattering model that I might be able to use instead?

Thanks again,
Daryl
