As part of the LMGP Crystallography software suite for Windows 
by Jean Laugier and Bernard Bochu: 
(Laboratoire des Materiaux et du G�nie Physique de l'Ecole 
Sup�rieure de Physique de Grenoble http://www.inpg.fr/LMGP/)

One of the newly available crystallographic packages is
Orient Express for Windows.

OrientExpress makes it possible to orient a single crystal of 
known unit cell dimensions from a single Laue pattern. This
pattern can be registered on a flat or cylindrical detector : 
X Rays film, two-dimentional sensitive detector, bitmap picture. 
I can be applied to mineral, organic and protein crystals.

The software can use spot positions from a file or can graphically
select spots from a DMP image file; and has an interface to connect
to digitiser tablets.

After indexing, OrientExpress then gives further options for simulation 
and re-orientation that you can explore. This includes calculation of 
angles to reorient the crystal. 

A (superficial) tutorial run-through of OrientExpress is available at:

And the program (with example files) can be download from the LMGP 
Crystallography software suite website at:
