------ OUT NOW ! ------
The latest version of the CCP4 Suite for protein crystallography is
now available on the CCP4 anonymous ftp server (ccp4a.dl.ac.uk or
148.79.112.134 - cd pub/ccp4). The CCP4 Suite is mirrored in San Diego
at rosebud.sdsc.edu (directory /pub/sdsc/xtal/CCP4 ) and in Japan
at pfweis.kek.jp (130.87.176.31 , directory /mirror/ccp4/ccp4 ), but
please allow some time for the mirror sites to be upgraded to the new
version.
In addition to a number of bug fixes and enhancements to
existing programs, this release includes the following new programs:
* MAKEDICT: will produce TNT or PROTIN dictionary entries from a PDB
or PROTIN file (Phil Evans).
* MATTHEWS_COEF: written by Misha Isupov to calculate the Matthews
coefficient given the cell, symmetry, number of atoms etc..
* RASMOL: RasMol 2.6 (unix and VMS versions) is now distributed
with CCP4 (Roger Sayle).
* SCALEPACK2MTZ: Convert SCALEPACK output into an MTZ file. It then must
got through TRUNCATE to convert to Fs.
Documentation for most of the main programs is now distributed in
html format, in addition to the man page source and formatted versions.
Point your browser at $CCP4/html/INDEX.html These html files are
at the moment generated automatically, and are perhaps not ideal. They
will be gradually improved, and at some point the man page source files
(man1/*.1 etc.) will be made obsolete.
Details of all the changes can be found in the CHANGES file in the
top-level directory ($CCP4).
