Crystallographic Information Framework

CYCLOPS version 1

Description

CYCLOPS checks apparent data names in text files against their occurrence in a CIF dictionary.

Distribution

Status

This is the version of March 5 1993. This version of CYCLOPS is no longer maintained. Use instead CYCLOPS version 2.

Language and platform

The software is written in Fortran77 and should compile and run in a command-line environment on any common operating system with a suitable Fortran compiler.

Documentation

  • Installation: Copy the text file cyclops.txt into an empty directory and split it into distinct files as described in the body of the file
    or
    copy the individual files to the build directory. Then compile the source file cyclops.f, e.g. 
     f77 -o cyclops cyclops.f
