15th October 2001 Note: The mirroring script for grabbing
the WinGX website was not working as advertised causing the software mirrors
to be out of date for WinGX/WinPlaton/Ortep-3/GUI WinStruplo, etc.
Apologies for this. The WinGX mirroring is now working in a reliable manner
again. If you were using the mirrored sites, please recheck
for updates (especially of WinPlaton which gets updated almost every day).

What is WinGX?WinGX by Louis Farrugia (louis@chem.gla.ac.uk) is a single crystal suite that links into a very large range of crystallographic programs via the click of a button. WinGX handles all the file handling and puts very high quality Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) over powerful crystallographic software. This includes data processing, crystallographic utility programs, spacegroup assignment, multiple types of absorption correction, links to multiple structure solution programs (including auto-building of the structure using DIRDIF's PHASEX option), structure refinement via Shelxl 97, Jana, Xtal and Crystals, various hydrogen searching and placement options, Fourier map generation, graphical visualisation, structure quality checking (including interlinking into Plato for Addsym and other functionality) structure validation and photo realistic rendering of the structure.

Obtaining/Installing WinGXTo use Shelx97 and Sir92/Sir97 you must be a registered user of these programs. If you have not already, go to these sites and register (free for academics) and register. While at it, get the latest Sirware (sir97) which can easily link into WinGX. To obtain the WinGX or ORTEP licence files necessary for the programs to run, fill in the web form at:
Note: Many Email programs automatically put a .txt extension on the file. Rename these to WinGX-license and Ortep3-license without any file extension.
