Vincent tried to send this to the list but it bounced him -
so am forwarding this on.

>   The FOX program ('Free Objects for Xtallography') is a program for

> data (X-Ray, neutron). It is available freely in compiled or source 
> form for Linux and windows (tested on 98,NT,2000,XP).
> 
>    A new version of FOX "Free Objects fo Xtallography" is available. It 
> adds the handling of preferred orientation, plus numerous bugfixes, 
> especially under windows.

> Changelog:
> NEW FEATURES
>    * FOX now supports Preferred Orientation, using the March-Dollase
>      model. The texture parameters can be searched ab initio.
>    * The 3D display of the crystal structure is now also refreshed
>      automatically under WinNT and above (still much less responsive
>      than under Linux -hint,hint).
>    * The default size of crystal structure and powder pattern are more
>      reasonable under windows.
>    * New atoms in ZScatterer are now given a sensible default name,
>      ScattPowName+number of the atom.
>    * The wavelength is now directly displayed in the window, rather
>      than exclusively through a menu.
>    * Added ability to duplicate scatterers in Crystal.
>    * Powder diffraction pattern keeps zoomed during optimization.
>      
> BUG FIXES
>    * The atom names in ZScatterer are now validated without the
>      'enter' key being hit.
>    * Adding atoms in a z-matrix scatterer does not crash anymore.
>    * removing a scatterer (or any object...) after running an 
>      optimisation, does not crash any more when optimization is 
>      relaunched (the parameter list is now correctly rebuilt).
>    * Now correctly zooming when the dragged area goes beyond 
>      2theta limits.
