[sdpd] IUCr Glasgow Aug 1999 Software Fayre Update

[L.M.D.Cranswick... @dl.ac.uk (L. Cranswick)]

Given the relatively large desire by potential participants to
have Linux as their preferred operating system to run certain
packages; and thanks to the generousity of the Conference
Organisers in their efforts to get the equipment, the
Software Fayre at the August 1999 Glasgow IUCr Congress will
have the following computers for people to demonstrate and
use software:

  -   2 to 3 SGI O2s

  -   5 Compaq PCs running MS Windows 9.x.

  -   2 Compaq PCs Running Linux

As much non-commercial crystallographic software as possible will be installed
on the computers for the benefit of developers and users.  If you just wish to
try out software with colleagues while you are all together, please consider
bringing some of your example data - and your own version of the software (just in
case) - preferably on writable CD-ROM (or 100 Meg ZIP or floppy disks)

If software developers wish to give a more formal presentation rather than
the default ad-hoc character of the Fayre, you can either book times.
