CMPR is written by Brian H. Toby of the NIST Center for Neutron Research. Small FORTRAN programs used in CMPR contain routines borrowed from lots of sources: The reflection generation code traces back to the NIST AIDS*83 (C. Hubbard, J. Stalick, A. Mighell & others), space group extinctions from NRC symmetry codes (A. C. Larson) and peak fitting uses GPLSFTA (D. Cox, W. Hamilton, L. Finger & many others).
