What are old-style fit functions

Old-style fit functions have the format of a fit function, but lack the FitFunc type keyword. Any function that takes a wave as the first parameter and a variable as the second is an "old style" fit function. Your problem is precisely why I added the FitFunc keyword to Igor.

Thanks Jon. That will let me avoid those types of functions in the future so that they don't get recognized as "old-style" ones.

Just in case some else runs into this issue. He is a quick workaround that prints a list of 1D user and Igor defined fit functions (without the old style stuff)

function test()

//Gets a list of all 1D fit functions
string Flist =FunctionList("*", ";","KIND:11,NINDVARS:1,VALTYPE:2")

string strtemp
variable index=0
string StrInfo

do
strtemp=StringFromList(index, Flist)

if(strlen(strtemp)==0)
break
endif

StrInfo= StringByKey("SUBTYPE", functioninfo(strtemp))

//Remove "Old-Style" Functions
if(strlen(StrInfo) !=0 && cmpstr(StrInfo,"Fitfunc")!=0)
Flist=RemoveFromList(strtemp, Flist ,";")
index=index-1
endif

index=index+1
while(1)

print Flist
end
