 XAID is a collection of programs for XAFS data analysis 

 REFERENCE: "XAID: A package for XAFS data analysis based on IDL"
       by Manuel Sanchez del Rio. Proceedings of the 9th International
	Conference on X-ray Absorption Fine Structure
	J. Phys. IV, Coll C2-209-210, 1997. 
 
 The XAID main window allows you to start the different applications 
 included in XAID:

    For standard EXAFS Data analysis:
	EXAFS signal Extraction (XAID_MU2CHI)
	Fourier Filtering (XAID_FF)
	Batch data analysis with EXODUS

    For Dispersive EXAFS Data analysis
	Calibration & Analisys (DELIA)
	Calibration (XAID_CALIB)': XAID_CALIB,Group=event.top

    DABAX tools:
	f1 and f2 values
	McKale phases
	EXAFS spectra database
	XANES spectra database

 Note: In addition to the widget application mentioned before, 
 XAID contains an IDL library of functions that can be used 
 on machines licensed to IDL (XOP's developer mode). This library
 permits to customize XAFS applications. 

 Some EXAFS procedures and functions included in the XAID library:
	bftr		Calculate Back Fourier Transform (Standard procedure)
	bftrset		Driver for bftr and fastbftr
	e2k		change the energy scale to wavenumber
	fastbftr	calculate the back F.T. (fast FT algorithm)
	fastftr		calculates the F.T (fast F.T. algorithm)
	ftr		calculates the  Fourier Transform (Standard procedure)
	ftrset		drivet for ftr and fastftr
	gete0		to get the edge
	getjump		to get the jump value
	k2e		transform the k scale to energy
	polspl		multipolynomial spline
	polspl_evaluate	multipolynomial spline evaluation
	postedge	a driver for polspl
	window_ftr	windows for F.T.
	writeset	writes a set into a file
	xanes_normalize	normalize a Xanes spectrum
