The ICSD-WWW database on http://icsdweb.fiz-karlsruhe.de/ or http://icsd.ill.fr/ has been updated to 76,480 inorganic structures for licensed users, with now over 6000 new entries being added each year. Unlicensed users have full-feature access to a demo 3000+ structure database.
Notes and examples of how to produce photo-realistic crystal structure drawings from ICSD generated VRML files using "textures" or POV-Ray ray-tracing have been added on http://icsd.ill.fr/icsd/help/VRML-help.html Note that there are various ways of obtaining full access to ICSD-WWW, ranging from becoming a registered user of http://icsdweb.fiz-karlsruhe.de/ to a licence to operate your own ICSD-WWW server. See the above WWW-site for details. Armel will be pleased to know that the PHP-MySQL server software is available as open source (but copyright) code from http://icsd.ill.fr/icsd/install/ Alan.
