An up and coming alternative to the ICDD is the yet to be released Pauling file: http://www.crystalimpact.com/pauling/ | [UK CCP14 Mirror]

From [email protected] Tue Nov 11 00:26:49 2003 Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2003 18:33:11 -0500 Dear CMPR users, I'd like to let you know about a new release of CMPR for Windows, Unix and Macintosh OSX. This release is still in the testing stage, but I am hoping that there will not be too many problems. So, what's new? The distribution of CMPR has been combined with the ICDD search program, LOGIC. This will be of great interest to those of you who have a license for the ICDD PDF-2 database; my regrets to those who do not. When the ICDD database is installed, CMPR now has an interface to the database. LOGIC has been extensively changed to make it more portable and add new capabilities. CMPR & LOGIC now run on the Mac in OS X(!) A self-installing program has been written for Windows, which will make installation on that platform a lot easier. Depending on when you last loaded CMPR, you will probably find a few other minor new features, but on the whole not that much has changed... Please keep me posted of successes & failures, Brian web page: http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/xtal/software/cmpr/ Unix/Mac: ftp://ftp.ncnr.nist.gov/pub/cryst/powdersuite/cmpr.tar.gz Windows: ftp://ftp.ncnr.nist.gov/pub/cryst/powdersuite/cmpr+logic.exe -- ******************************************************************** Brian H.
