A quick work that Robin Shirley's CRYS Powder Indexing Suite for DOS/Windows
(linking/incorporating DICVOL, ITO and TREOR) is now available on the
CCP14 site:
http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/tutorial/crys/index.html

Including a basic tutorial/run through:

Based on some of the talks and posters at ECM 98 and EPDIC 98,
hope to have some new powder indexing options in the future as well.
Powder Indexing was described as still being an existing bottle-neck
for structure solution from powder data.

Of the new algorithms described, Kenneth Harris's talk which
included work on Indexing by combining Le Bail extraction with
Genetic Algorithms sounded extremely interesting.
