RE: new GSAS

Another question regarding GSAS.  Which version of expgui runs best on the
win2000 platform?  Is EXPGUI a program used in place of the EXPEDT routine
in GSAS?

Hi Everyone,
I have a new version of PC-GSAS.EXE that works in both Win95/98 and 
WinNT/2000 and have put the executable in 
ftp://ftp.lanl.gov/public/gsas/windows. There is also a new version for 
Linux in the directory /linux-beta. The main change is to make the exp  
raw powder data files direct access with 82 character records each 
terminated with CR/LF. Thus, these files can be easily read and edited 
without any need for conversion. Their structure is identical to that for 
MS Windows so these files can be moved between operating systems without 
conversions as well. EXPEDT in Linux should convert your old Linux files to 
the new format. A conversion utility, CONVFILE, is also provided to do this 
job. Because of this format change Brian Toby's expgui may need some 
revision - Brian is working on this - but I wanted folks to try this 
version  let me know of bugs. This Linux version was compiled on RedHat 
7.0 and linked to the downward compatible libraries so it should run in 
RedHat 6.2 or better ( equivalent).

Hi Guys,
Only one program can "open" a file but you can resister many programs that 
appear in the pull down menu when you "right click" a registered file name. 
I have mine setup with 6-7 different gsas programs available for an exp 
file. The "readme" gives directions for setting this up.

When 'registering' GSAS experiment files with the windows operating system
the file extension .exp is used when I register another routine such as
powpref I attempt to use the same extension (.exp).  The problem I'm
encountering is registering the extension .exp multiple times, are you only
able to link the extension to one subroutine at a time.

Is the program expgui used instead of the routine expedt for entering
structural information and bring experimental patterns into GSAS?

Windows 2000 does allow to associate many program to the same extension
using "Advance" button.

In a word, yes. 

EXPGUI does only a fraction of what EXPEDT does, but I would like to
think it is pretty useful. See
http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/xtal/software/expgui/expgui_intro.html
for more info.

P.S. The current version should work fine with the latest GSAS release
for Windows, but I have not yet gotten my act together for the "beta"
Linux release.

Toroidal atom displacement factors?

2001-04-10 Thread Yokochi, Alexandre

Hi everyone,

I have some data where I suspect that an atom rather than sitting
exactly on a special position is actually displaced off of it, and should
essentially form a torus around it.  I think I overheard that there is the
possibility of using toroidal displacement factors in one of the more common
programs.  Could someone give me a pointer in that direction if it is
possible at all?

Thanks, AlexY
