(last updated: 24th July 2000) Lachlan Cranswick - l.cranswick@dl.ac.uk) For a tutorial in dowloading/using the CRYSFIRE System, check out: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/crys/ To install Crysfire, unzip or self extract the files into a c:\crysfire directory then set c:\crysfire as part of the path in the c:\autoexec.bat or Windows NT system environment. For self extracting, use the following commands: crysinst.exe c:\ -d (this will create the c:\crysfire subdirectory and the test data and documentation directory) Please note that CRYSFIRE requires the DOS or Win95/98 sort.exe program that is not included with Windows NT. If using CRYSFIRE on an NT machine, copy sort.exe from a Win95 or Win98 computer into the c:\crysfire directory. ==================== Please note that for Powder Indexing options, you may like to check out the following web-page: Available Software for Powder Diffraction Indexing Including Reference List http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/solution/indexing/ This presently includes information on all the available Powder Indexing suites and software (binaries and source code): Indexing programs: ito, dicvol, treor, taup, kohl, fjzn, lzon, losh, cmpr, eflech/index, scanix, supercel Suites: CRYS, Winplotr, proszki, PowderX, Powder v 2.00 ==================== A graphical program for MS-Windows that links into CRYSFIRE to help check trial cells and determine spacegroups is the Chekcell software - part of the LMGP suite for Windows by Jean Laugier and Bernard Bochu. http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/lmgp/ http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/ccp/web-mirrors/lmgp-laugier-bochu/ ==================== Lachlan Cranswick - CCP14 Secretary - 17th May 1999 (Chekcell information update - 24th April 2000) (Crysfire update - 24th July 2000) l.cranswick@dl.ac.uk http://www.ccp14.ac.uk ccp14@dl.ac.uk
