Enhancements over WinGX version 1.63.02
A small number of enhancements, changes and bug-fixes have been introduced to
WinGX since version 1.63.02, the previous official release.
- Some programs e.g. PLATON, SYMMOL, SORTAV have been updated.
- To avoid compatability problems, the internal HTML browser has been removed
from WinGX. In order to view the HTML help documents, it is now necessary to
have an external browser available (Netscape or MS IExplorer). Since
virtually all users will have such browsers anyway, it is hoped this change will not
prove to be too inconvenient.
- Support for data reduction for
Nonius KappaCCD (Process Data & KCD Image
Tool) and SMART-SAINT systems. A GUI for the well known data reduction
program SORTAV is included in this enhancement.
- An easy GUI for adding/modifying user-defined menu items.
- A NEEDLE absorption correction (specific for CAD4 data) has been added. This is
similar to CYLINDRICAL but allows for needle dimensions much larger than the
beam width and for absorption by glass capillaries.
- The default reflection file is now set by a new menu item (Set HKL file in Refine
menu) so that SHELXL does not ask you which reflection file to use each time it is
run. The current reflection file is displayed in the main program menu bar.
- A launch point for the new structure solution program SHELXD has been added.
- A number of changes have been made to SXGRAPH. Interprocess
communication between SXGRAPH and WinGX has been extended. For example
it is now possible to set the reflection file for refinement from within SXGRAPH
- By kind permission of Irfan Skiljan, the excellent free graphics program
IrfanView
has been included in the applications directory of the WinGX download.
