Hi Danny,

Welcome to the NESSY mailing lists!   If you do not know who I am, my
name is Edward d'Auvergne (a.k.a. bugman) and I am the current
maintainer of the NESSY project as well as the project administrator
for relax (http://www.nmr-relax.com/), minfx
(https://gna.org/projects/minfx/), and bmrblib
(https://gna.org/projects/bmrblib/).  Note that NESSY is in
maintenance mode - the project is currently dormant - so if the issue
requires work, there may be no developers available to resolve the
bug.

If you have a look at the list of NESSY bugs at
http://gna.org/bugs/?group=nessy , you will see that it is the Ishima
and Torchia, 1999 model.  As you have seen, a lot of model
documentation is required for NESSY, but this will require a new
developer to volunteer to do this.  Note that I came up with the name
IT99 while developing the relaxation dispersion analysis in relax (see
http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/IT99 ).  This name was to simplify the
organisation of the large number of relaxation dispersion models
published by the field (
http://www.nmr-relax.com/manual/Relaxation_dispersion.html ), to
simplify the software module naming and implementation (see
http://www.nmr-relax.com/api/4.0/lib.dispersion-module.html ), and to
avoid the uncertainty of a model numbering or other system.

If you compare the results of the IT99 model in NESSY and relax, you
may actually see a difference.  From memory, I think there were a
number of fixes for the equations due to CGS and SI unit differences (
http://wiki.nmr-relax.com/CGS_versus_SI ) that may not have been
ported back to NESSY.  Though I cannot be sure without directly
comparing the results or source code, which I currently do not have
the time to do ( see
http://www.nmr-relax.com/api/4.0/lib.dispersion.it99-module.html and
http://www.nmr-relax.com/api/4.0/lib.dispersion.it99-pysrc.html vs.
the NESSY source code at http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/nessy/nessy/func/
).  As this is distant memory, it could be that relax and NESSY
produce identical results.  Anyway, I believe the results in relax to
be reliable as we extensively test the code via the test suite.  Note
that as there is no reference software available from the original
authors ( 
http://www.nmr-relax.com/manual/Comparison_of_dispersion_analysis_software.html
), the IT99 model is the least reliable of all dispersion models as
the only cross-check that we could perform was between CPMGFit, NESSY
and relax.  I cannot remember why the GLOVE software implementation of
the IT99 model was not checked.  I just remember that implementing
this model caused a lot of headaches.  Anyway, I hope this info helps.

Regards,

Edward
