Since SHELX is frequently cited incorrectly, after some arm-twisting by 
the Acta Cryst. editors I have written a paper:

"A short history of SHELX". Sheldrick, G.M. (2008). Acta Cryst. A64, 
112-122

which may be safely cited whenever any program with a name beginning with 
"SHELX..." is used. I do not expect anyone to actually read it, but for 
those who wish to do so, it is available as "Open Access" at:
