Just a reminder that during the IUCr Glasgow Congress
from the 4th to 13th of August, there will be a software
Fayre based around 2 SGI O2s, 2 Compaq PCs running LINUX and
5 Compaq PCs running Windows 95/98.

   http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/projects/iucr99-softwarefayre/

One suggestion is that participants may like to bring
some data (solved and problematic) and use the opportunity
to try some of the software out or have a hacking session 
with colleagues on some of the relevant programs.
(It is preferable to bring data on writable CD-ROMs)

Most of the software available via the CCP14 site will be
installed and the following people have booked slots or
theatres to give demonstrations:

 John Gallagher  -   ORTEX Single Crystal Suite

 Pamela Williams -   XtalView Crystallographic Software
    for fitting of electron density maps and solving structures
    by MIR and MAD

 Paul Mallinson, Tibor Koritsanszky, Thomas Richter -
        Project XD Charge Density software.

 David Watkin and Richard Cooper - GUI WinCRYSTALS
        Single Crystal Suite.

 Syd Hall, Douglas du Boulay - The Xtal Single Crystal
    Software Suite

 Louis Farrugia - The WinGX Single Crystal Suite

 Riccardo Spagna - CAOS (Crystal Structure Analysis Operating
     System) Single Crystal Suite

 Marian Szebenyi - MacCHESS Software/GUI for processing protein
     crystallographic data.

 Robin Shirley - CRYSFIRE(Crys2run of old) for DOS Powder Indexing suite.

 Paul T. Beurskens - DIRDIF Structure Solution Software by Patterson methods
     and direct methods applied to difference structure factors.

 Armel Le Bail - ESPOIR software for structure determination by Monte Carlo
     of Powder Diffraction data.

 Vaclav Petricek and Michal Dusek - JANA98 - crystallographic computing
     suite for ordinary and modulated structures.

 Lachlan Cranswick - "It isn't that Hard!" - informal "Trading War Stories and
    demo sessions" on how hackers can get into and corrupt your crystallographic 
    web-data servers/computers - and reliable ways to defend network connected 
    computers on untrusted networks.  (A sort of Crystallographic 2600 meeting?)
 
------

There is still room for presenting semi-formal demonstrations
throughout the congress.

The Software Fayre computers are not connected to the
internet so if you wish to see some publically available
crystallographic software installed, please E-mail me.

Lachlan.
