[sdpd] RIET: Updated WinGX and GUI WinORTEP for MS-Windows by Louis Farrugia



(as WinGX and Louis's other software can be very useful for powder 
diffraction applications - this is being posted here as well)

There are new updates of the WinGX single crystal suite 
Version 1.64.02 (May 7th, 2001) and GUI WinORTEP (v 1.071)
structure drawing and plotting software by Louis Farrugia.

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

WinGX Issues fixed include:

(a) bug-fix in routine Create CIF. Both versions 1.64.00 and
    1.64.01 had a bug which gave a very non-standard output CIF
    with a ' ' instead of '.' for looped items. While this CIF
    was syntactically correct, it was not logically so and gave
    error flags with the CIF checking routines in PLATON.
(b) WTANAL - number of reflections allowed has been increased
    to 1.25 million to avoid array overflows.
(c) FOURIER - bug-fix in writing file for MCubesELD program
    with 3D-map option.
(d) the routine which reads the license file has been modified
    to alleviate problems with line-wrapping.
(e) bug-fix in SMART-SAINT import GUI.
(f) bug-fix in PROFIT/DREAR-Convert CAD4 reading CAD4 files.
(g) bug-fix in SIR92/97 GUI. Minor revamping of Solve menu.
    Use of version 1.04 of SIR97 is recommended

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

GUI WinORTEP Issues fixed include:

(a) bug fix in routine which reads Fullprof files
(b) routine which reads the license file has been modified
    to alleviate problems with line wrapping.
