near_field package

[Maxim Yurkin]

Dear ADDA users,

I am glad to announce that it is now possible to calculate near field in a more convenient manner. Fabio Della Salla has
contributed an MPI program to compute the near field on an arbitrary set of points (i.e. not related to the dipole
grid). The description of the program is available at
http://a-dda.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/misc/near_field/nearfield_manual.txt
and any discussion and updates on it will be reflected at issue 10:
http://code.google.com/p/a-dda/issues/detail?id=10

To use it with the current (0.79) version of ADDA either download the package from:
http://a-dda.googlecode.com/files/near_field_1_01.tar.gz
or get the source from subversion repository:
svn {checkout|export} http://a-dda.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/misc/near_field

The future releases of ADDA will incorporate this package (in misc/near_field folder).

If you are interested in computing near field, please try this package and let us know of your experience. If you
publish any results obtained using this package, please cite:
