Scott. If you use the code distributed by Rietveld, you should certainly
acknowledge it as "the Rietveld program/code" as I did in my Harwell
report 1973_The_Rietveld_Program_for_the_Profile_Refinement_of_
Neutron_Diffraction_Powder_Patterns_AERE_R7350-von_Dreele_annotations.pdf

In that case you should also list the actual code you use, as I did. Alan.
