DBWS Friendly Programs
Due to DBWS being one of the most popular Rietveld programs,
there are a number of other utility programs that will
recognise DBWS structure input files.
- DMPlot Shareware DOS Rietveld Plot Viewer
- RSD-PLOT Freeware DOS Rietveld Plot Viewer
- XPMA and ZORTEP Freeware DOS Crystal Structure Viewer
- A program called rietconv can convert the DBWS input file into a
Shelx format that can then be directly imported into XPMA.
- Atoms for Windows Commercial MS-Windows Crystal Structure Viewer

ANSTO LHPM Features
- ANSTO Sequal to the ANSTO/CSIRO LHPM
- Windows 95 version is in the rietica subdirectory
- Windows 95 version has excellent full GUI interface
- Can handle multiple datasets - neutron and X-ray
- Ability to calculate and refine neutron time-of-flight data
- Fourier Output and Viewing
- Ability to refine wavelengths
- Ability to read new data formats, including higher precision 2theta
values in the input and data files, and a listed format datafile
consisting of rows of 2q, Intensity (and optionally weight(Intensity))
- Addition of a new peak shape specifically for TOF (Jorgensen Peak Shape)
- Ability to stop calculation of weak peaks, such as for large monoclinic
cells in multiphase systems
- New background functions to deal with amorphous background contributions
- Each histogram can have it’s own scattering form factors/lengths, so can
be used in anomalous scattering experiments. The ability to refine f’
and f’’ now allows extra flexibility with synchrotron diffraction data.
