Re: lack of any dedicated powder pattern calculation
software that can handle TOF Flight neutrons:
Are there any Time of Flight Neutron internet/web
based links giving hints and code for programming
TOF capability into Rietveld and Powder Pattern
calculation software. It would be far easier to convince
programmers to support this form of diffraction
if some easy to get "example" code and hints could
be made available.
Something of the ilk of the Le Bail method page which
has hints on where to insert changes into Rietveld
code and some example Fortran for getting over some
of the nuances that may result:

(Telling programmers using the internet, who are not
full or part time TOF users, to "read the book"
could look like telling them to "go to hell" -
especially as equations described in the literature
may not be directly translatable into robust code)
