Solving a structure from powder diffraction data normally requires starting from raw data conversion through to displaying a publication quality stucture model. To help make this type of endeavour a going concern, a large amount of crystallographic software is presently freely available via the Internet to academics and students (commercial users should contact the program authors to determine licence conditions). This ranges from data conversion, peak profiling, indexing, structure solution, crystal structure validation up to photo-realistic rendering of the final refined solution.
The following notes provide web links to most of the presently known and freely available software; and also tries to give a feel for what some of these programs look like. In the past few years there has been a trend for to put GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) and advanced graphics onto freely available software to make them more powerful and friendly to use. These notes are as current as possible for August 2000.
Single crystal programs are also cited as presently they can be very useful in assisting in structure solution from powder diffraction. Users are advised that they can greatly enhance and improve the effectively of their crystallographic resources by investigating available and newly developed programs to build a software toolkit optimised to the phases systems and structures. The difference between an intractable or unsolvable structure and one that is relatively routine could purely be the difference in which software is applied to the problem. Many of the cited packages are under continual development; thus this document may quickly go out of with new functionality added to programs. Readers are encouraged to take nothing for granted and investigate for themselves the following mentioned programs in creating a robust tool set for the analysis of their crystallographic problems.
With regard to the web references provided in the following text. The Internet is presently very quite dynamic and unstable. Web and ftp sites that exist one month might disappear or move the next. Thus the reader should not consider these World Wide Web links to be written in stone. If a web site provided in the below text has ceased to exist, the keywords of the program name may allow convenient finding of this or related software by using the program title in a web search engine. Scientists can be most at risk at not knowing what they do not know. Thus much of this information is provided in helping keywords that have been found to work with World Wide Web search engines are also provided. Most of the below stated programs are also mirrored (with tutorials and hints for many of the programs) at the CCP14 website at http://www.ccp14.ac.uk.

Some single crystal suites have a point and click interface into the Cambridge database allowing connectivity checks, cell searches to be performed in an easy to do manner. Platon/System S is one of these style of programs which links into the CSD Quest program. While Crystals for Windows does dynamic bond-length and angle comparison of data from the Cambridge database.
