As some of you have already discovered, there is a major new release of
the whole
of SHELX (the first since 1997) complete with a new homepage that should
make
downloads easier. To obtain the programs, please point your browser to:
http://shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de/SHELX/
and then 'register' (top of blue menu, upper left). You will then
receive the password
immediately by email and can then go to 'downloads'. The procedure has been
designed to make life difficult for spammers etc. A little program (in
FORTRAN
of course) turns the registrations into a sorted users' list, which I
hand-edit where
necessary before it appears on the homepage, this may take a few days. The
homepage also provides access to extensive documentation, FAQs etc. Please
let me know of any problems (even typos) with the homepage and programs,
with
so much new material there are sure to be some bugs. The new versions
replace
all previous versions including beta-tests and almost all the programs
have been
improved since their last beta-test version (see 'recent changes').
In particular, the new shelxe_2013/2 corrects a couple of serious bugs
in the
autotracing from MR models and MRSAD present in the beta-test 2013/1.
