So I'm trying to analyze my data from the synchrotron and nothing's working. Then I realize that they just put new parts in the x-ray microscope and rewrote some of the software to run it. They probably also changed the file format somewhat, which explains why I can't read the new files with the old software I have. Unfortunately, the new software requires the new version of IDL, which I don't have and can't afford right now. I'm trying to download the free "virtual machine" which only allows you to run software, but the website is running extremely slow right now, so I haven't been successful at it yet.
