Dear Blaise, Freedom is free, and using the command line version of GSAS works as good as the new Graphical Users Interface versions. However Id strongly suggest you to try EXPGUI instead of PC-GSAS.
Not only youll have all the capabilities that GSAS itself has (links to all routines distributed with GSAS are there), in a very neat and easy to use GUI, but also a number of additional routines that help convert coordinates, correct file formats, generate instrument parameter files, plot peak widths, plot output (fits, structure) and a long etc .. Nothing you couldnt do by yourself, however, everything is visible and easy to find. Additionally you can you can always access the dark side of GSAS through a mouse click without having to write file-name, etc. In summary, if you are able to use GSAS in it´s command line mode you´ll probably enjoy the additional features and ease of use of Brian Tobys EXPGUI (available in multiple platforms). I hope this helps.

I was pretty good at it in graduate school (DOS-GSAS). I have PC-GSAS running and everything works -- but I am having trouble getting use to the program being in the windows environment. I know this is a stupid request: can I still get the dos version? Or is it possible to run PC-GSAS in dos? In other words can I make the entire program entirely command line? My fingers are twitching to go faster and my mouse is getting in the way. I feel like my dad when he asked me to upgrade his work laptop from windows 95 to windows 3.x. J Kind regards to all!
