Hi,
There are now new versions of both the MS-DOS/Windows and Linux versions of
GSAS. They are essentially identical. The major changes are:
1. The rigid body TLS model has been changed to be properly based on a
Cartesian
coordinate system (thanks to Allen Larson). This is only noticable in
refinements of TLS in nonorthogonal crystal systems (hexagonal, monoclinic
& triclinic).
2. GSAS is now more tolerant of raw data files, iprarm files and exp files
that are
not in the "proper" 80 character fixed length direct access format. This is
not completely
fool proof but EXPEDT (and other programs) will detect either files with
incorrect
length records or those transferred from unix (i.e. Linux) and convert raw
and iparm
files to scratch before attempting to read them; the original files are
left unchanged.
EXP files with incorrect record are converted; the original file is
retained with the
extension changed to "CRP". CNVFILE has also been modified to handle Unix
format
direct access files transferred to MS-DOS (Windows). Similarly convstod has
been modified to convert MS-DOS files to unix direct access. (thanks to
Brian Toby for putting forward the original changes for this).
Enjoy,
Bob Von Dreele
