Computer Programs for Crystallography

Abstract

Two computer programs, DSPIN and LSQRS, have been written to carry out the routine tasks of indexing sets of observed d-spacings in terms of known unit cells and of refining unit cell parameters rapidly, accurately and painlessly. The programs have been so written that the computer does as much of the computation and job organization as possible, and hence simplifies the work of the user in preparing the input data.
