The Third Release of the CCP14 Suite in Powder and Single-Crystal
Diffraction is now available.

To retrieve the new release of CCP14, please take the following
steps :

(1). Type "ftp gserv1.dl.ac.uk" OR "ftp 148.79.80.10" to reach the Daresbury
anonymous FTP server.

(2). Next, type "cd ccp14" to move down to the CCP14 home directory.

(3). Below this level, you will see a number of "operating system"
directories
eg. "sgirix5.2", which contain all the executables for that particular
platform. In each operating system directory, the programs are grouped
according to crystallographic function in appropriately named
sub-directories, eg. "index" for indexing, "struc" for structure
solution, "quant" for quantitative analysis, etc. A new directory
called "source" has been created as a storage point for those programs
for which CCP14 will only distribute the source code.

(4). The documentation is contained in the directory "doc", on the same level
as the operating system directories. The documentation and example
input data files corresponding to any one program are grouped in a
sub-directory named after that program. All the ".doc" documentation
files are in ASCII format.

(5). Before collecting the programs, it will be best to "get" the
postscript version of the CCP14 Manual and print it out at your site.
The manual for the Third Release is available in the directory
"/doc/manual" and consists of the files "manual.ps", "table1.ps",
"table2.ps" and "fig1.ps". The manual gives full details of how
to use the suite and of how to run individual programs.

A new newsletter and an updated WWW page will be made available
in early 1997, to complement the new release.

Users are welcome to ask questions on any aspect of the suite,
and should contact the CCP14 secretary, Dr. A. J. Holland, by e-mail
(A.J.Holland@dl.ac.uk).
