There is a new "partial" (due to space limitations) experimental CCP14 software mirror in Melbourne Australia thanks to CSIRO Minerals and permissions from software authors. The mirror is easily browseable via the address: ftp://ftp.minerals.csiro.au/pub/xtallography/ccp14/csiro/index.html (or via the CCP14 Software Mirrors Page at: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/mirror/mirror.htm) If in the Australasian region; it may be quicker to go to this (auto-updated daily) site to obtain software and browse mirrored information. Also, if in Australia, using this mirrored area may negate volume charging for use of the international links. (As using the UK CCP14 mirror does for those based in Britain). Software Includes: Armel LeBail's software/website; Brian Toby's software/web-ftp site; AXES; CRUNCH; CRUSH; Crystals; Debvin; Dirdif; ETHZ Software; Fit2D Image Plate Software; Fullprof; Plotr & Winplotr; GSAS; Jana; Stefan Krumm Site and Software; Bernhard Rupp LLNL Web site and Software; Mario Nardelli Software and Code; XPowder, Convert Site; ORTEX Suite; Oak Ridge ORTEP Site mirror; WinGX, WinOrtep, WinStruplo, WinPlaton, THMA14c site; PATSEE PDPL Profil Suite; PFE; Ton Spek's Platon web-ftp sites; Powder Cell; Rietan Rietveld; Hugo Rietveld Website; Simref/Simpro/Meed site; Steffen Weber's Site; UNITCELL, THERMOCALC, hb-plag, ax; Valence, Getspec; WGET; XND; XtalView; X-ray Image Plate Software. Lachlan. PS: For people's interest, auto-mirroring uses the open source, free rsync software from http://rsync.samba.org. It takes around 2 to 3 minutes for rsync to make the routine incremental daily check of ~1Gig of files to the remote archive from the UK to Australia. (Rsync also tries to only transfer the differences in the files - not the entire file making it highly effecient). Anyone with a Gig or 5 spare can easily implement a CCP14 software mirror in their part of the world if internet links are generally sluggish and/or it is more convenient having a local mirror. The rsync software is GPL'd free software. If interested, contact me on the below address. -- Lachlan M. D.
