In general, using a combination of the following programs, you should be able to interconvert from any decent format to another. Use of a spreadsheet such as Excel and/or a good freeware ASCII editor such as PFE (programmers file editor) [PFE Homesite] | [CCP14 PFE Mirror] may be required to trim and edit out some problems which some programs have reading file types such as Shelx *.INS.

Cryscon for Windows (Shareware)
  • Eric Dowty ([email protected])
  • As of 11th September 2000,
    • Will perform complex structure transformation and re-populate cells; merging atoms if going to higher symmetry, etc.
    • Will also transform HKL files as part of the process.
    • Will also calculate powder patterns and Precession style single crystal data
