Links to other sites with versions for other platforms may not work. If they do, the programs may still be 1.0.2. This information will be updated as the new versions become available.


The screen drawing capabilities incorporated into these versions of ORTEP-III are provided by PGPLOT. PGPLOT is a free graphics library developed by T. J. Pearson at the California Institute of Technology. Information about PGPLOT can be found on the World Wide Web at http://astro.caltech.edu/~tjp/pgplot or via e-mail to [email protected].

Louis Farrugia ([email protected]) has built his Ortep-3 for Windows around version 1.0.3 of ORTEP-III.

Pedro Giffuni ([email protected]) of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia has compiled ORTEP-III for FreeBSD-2.2.5. The distribution consists of a gzipped tar file containing the ORTEP-III executable and a file grfont.dat, which is needed for screen rendering. Two unix environment variables must be defined to use the program:

PGPLOT_DIRset to the directory containing grfont.dat
PGPLOT_DEV=/xwindow

The FreeBSD version is available as
