IUCr 1996 Report - Int. Tables Volume B. Reciprocal Space

The activities related to the editing of Volume B of International Tables, during the tenure of this report, can be summarized as: (i) extensive interaction with authors of revised and new contributions to Volume B, by correspondence as well as in personal meetings during the Seattle Congress; and (ii) open and closed meetings of the Commission on International Tables, in which status reports on all volumes were presented and important discussions took place. The end of 1996 also marks the completion of most of the preparatory work that was needed in order to start the technical processing of the Second Edition of Volume B.

Details on the current status of Volume B are readily available by accessing the home page of the Commission on International Tables via the IUCr home page (http://www.iucr.org/) or directly at its primary address http://crystal.tau.ac.il/xtal/comit/comit.html.

The details, as presented in the above home page and updated to the time of writing this report, are:
