Just to note that BASS stands for Basic Astronomical Spectroscopy Software, written by John Paraskeva, and though it started out ‘basic’ it is now much more advanced. You might get some responses, but I think John setup that Yahoo group for his BASS software rather than VSpec. If you don’t get a response from the BASS group then one of the more general spectroscopy groups might be better like Ken Harrison’s Astronomical Specotroscopy group.

Though I’ve used VSpec, I am not very familiar with it. It is very versatile and powerful, but I found it would crash on me without warning and I’d loose my work.
Cheers,
