I've already said in this thread where you can get data for you experiments, so stop flaming and contact Christoph Kukulies <kuku@gilberto.physik.RWTH-Aachen.DE>. He sure have been hacked the same way as I've been few month ago. btw, I've already contacted him, if he will reply with data needed I'll forward it here. -- Alexandr P.
