Just a reminder that during the IUCr Glasgow Congress from the 4th to 13th of August, there will be a software Fayre based around 2 SGI O2s, 2 Compaq PCs running LINUX and 5 Compaq PCs running Windows 95/98. http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/projects/iucr99-softwarefayre/ One suggestion is that participants may like to bring some data (solved and problematic) and use the opportunity to try some of the software out or have a hacking session with colleagues on some of the relevant programs. (It is preferable to bring data on writable CD-ROMs) Most of the software available via the CCP14 site will be installed and the following people have booked slots or theatres to give demonstrations: John Gallagher - ORTEX Single Crystal Suite Pamela Williams - XtalView Crystallographic Software for fitting of electron density maps and solving structures by MIR and MAD Paul Mallinson, Tibor Koritsanszky, Thomas Richter - Project XD Charge Density software. David Watkin and Richard Cooper - GUI WinCRYSTALS Single Crystal Suite. Syd Hall, Douglas du Boulay - The Xtal Single Crystal Software Suite Louis Farrugia - The WinGX Single Crystal Suite Riccardo Spagna - CAOS (Crystal Structure Analysis Operating System) Single Crystal Suite Marian Szebenyi - MacCHESS Software/GUI for processing protein crystallographic data. Robin Shirley - CRYSFIRE(Crys2run of old) for DOS Powder Indexing suite. Paul T. Beurskens - DIRDIF Structure Solution Software by Patterson methods and direct methods applied to difference structure factors. Armel Le Bail - ESPOIR software for structure determination by Monte Carlo of Powder Diffraction data. Vaclav Petricek and Michal Dusek - JANA98 - crystallographic computing suite for ordinary and modulated structures. Lachlan Cranswick - "It isn't that Hard!" - informal "Trading War Stories and demo sessions" on how hackers can get into and corrupt your crystallographic web-data servers/computers - and reliable ways to defend network connected computers on untrusted networks. (A sort of Crystallographic 2600 meeting?) ------ There is still room for presenting semi-formal demonstrations throughout the congress. ------ The Software Fayre computers are not connected to the internet so if you wish to see some publically available crystallographic software installed, please E-mail me.
