    Just a thought for Dr. Charles and John Simpson regarding TLD glow curve 

    analysis.  My experience with TLD glow curves is somewhat dated (late 
'70s), 
    put I recall it being fairly straightforward peak deconvolution.  I am 
    sitting here with a catalog from SPSS Inc., a large statistical and 
graphics 
    software company.  They have a program called PeakFit 4.0 ($595), which 
    claims to be a fully automated peak identification, fitting, and 
    deconvolution program for spectroscopy, chromatography, and 
electrophoresis. 
    Sounds to me like something that might fit the bill nicely (if you would 

    pardon the pun).
    
    I have not used this product, but have used others from the company and 
have 
    been generally pleased.  Sure wish there was a product like this when I 
was 
    doing my work.  For further information, I suggest that you visit their 
    website at http://www.spss.com/software/science/Peakfit/
    
    If anybody has tried something like this, I would be curious as to how 
well 
    it worked.

    What few thoughts I have are truly my own
    (and sometimes even I don't want to take credit for them).
