[sdpd] Another 2 pence worth

["Shankland, K (Kenneth) " <k.shankland...@rl.ac.uk>]

To add to Jeremy's 2p worth.....

Having watched more than 100 people
hack into DASH at the Bayreuth meeting
(a scary sight) I concluded that there
are two types of people:

- those that read the manual / tutorial in order
  to learn how to use the program

- those that insert their own data straight
  away and try to figure out the way through

Both are valid approaches, though catering 
for option 2 is extremely difficult when it
comes to programming, especially with any
Window type system.

As regards the space group determination problem,
I can recommend watching out for the Jan 2001 issue
of Acta A, which will contain a paper from RAL by
Anders Markvardsen on that very topic.  It outlines
a probabalistic approach to SG detn from powder data
that puts SG detn on a fully quantitative basis.

Best,

Kenneth
