- Crystallography Source Code Museum
Crystallography source code museum
This collection contains source code for crystallographic programs that are either no longer actively maintained or have a version archived at a significant point in its historical development. Note that many of them (especially ones with graphic output) will not work without considerable modification to fit the requirements of modern compilers and libraries.
The museum was first created by Armel Le Bail in 1999, where it was subsequently found a useful resource by a number of software developers wishing to peruse old code and ideas. It was transferred to the IUCr Computing Commission website in January 2010.
Crystallographic source code of any type, style and age (as a zip file) can be submitted for inclusion into the museum by contacting the Chair of the Computing Commission.
