Hi,
at the LEM Experiment at PSI, we still use mana.c and would like to keep it until end of 2026, where we will enter a long shutdown.
There we will switch to the manalyzer. Before that, there is simply no time for the change over. One thing I already noticed is the "lack" of documentation, since
for a lot of items I found simply "TBW". I know that writing documentation is boring and hard, but I hope at the time we will switch there is a more complete
documentation available.
Thanks a lot for the ongoing development and support
