Hi,
I have placed new Windows and Linux versions of GSAS on the ftp site.
Changes are as follows....
1. A new version (0.99.7a) of the GRWin library is now used. GSAS now uses the
"mscvrt" version of the g77 libaries. The previous version used the
"crtdll" libaries.
Consequently the Windows behavior is changed for graphics. The GRWin window
is now
always "on top" (i.e. above the console & other windows). Do not minimize
or delete the
GRWin window as that will cause the GSAS routine to crash if another plot
is requested.
Just slide the GRWin window off to one side or resize it to a postage stamp
if it is in the way.
2. The cursor/keyboard now works correctly in all Win versions.
3. Eight simultaneous plots are allowed in all Windows versions of GSAS.
The ninth
plot overwrites the first, the tenth overwrites the second, etc.
4. gsas2cif now works and produces the calculated background correctly.
5. The line width for the Windows graphics routines has been increased. The
resulting
"emf" (encapsulated metafile) files can then be used to "insert" into a
Word or
PowerPoint document which will print nicely.
A remaining mystery:
1. Empty files (expedt, genles, etc.) are created in Windows under certain
conditions.
Those of you who are using Win2000 please look at the "readme" file as
there is an easier
way to set the correct "environment variables" GSAS needs to run correctly.
No more
editing the "autoexec.bat" file.
Please let me know of any problems.
