Re: flair: handling of statistical uncertainty

Dear Thomas Otto,

sure that this is taken into accout, exactly in the same way as in the
analysis without flair.
When you combine output files in flair you use in an automatic way exactly
the same post-processing programs (usbsuw and so on, you see them in the
flair Output window) you were using without flair, with the statistical
errors calcolated in the same way and written in the .lis files

Regards,

Anna
