New - Step-by-step input of a new CRYSCON data set.

Open - Open an old CRYSCON data file.

Close - Close the current graphics window.

Save - Save a CRYSCON data file.

Save as - Save a CRYSCON data file with a new name

Import File - Shows a pop-up menu with the file types currently supported. This includes:

--Free-form (.inp) This allows input of atomic coordinates and other information from almost any source.
--CCDC FDAT files from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre.
--SHELX .INS files from the program system of Prof. G. Sheldrick.
--CIF - Crystallographic Information Files.
--DBWS/LHPM Rietveld files.
--ICSD Inorganic Crystal Structure Database files.
--ORTEP Original or ORTEP II atom information.
--XTLVIEW Drawing program.
--RIETAN Rietveld program files.
--GSAS Data files (.EXP) files from the Los Alamos Lab system - may include magnetic vectors.
--AM MINERAL Data files from the American Mineralogist structure data base.
--FULLPROF . All-purpose refinement program - may include magnetic vectors.
--ATOMS Atomic structure plotting program (Shape Software).
--VIBRATZ Normal-coordinate calculation program for crystals and molecules (Shape Software).
--Ravel ATOMS This program is not the same as ATOMS by Shape Software, but is for EXAFS Analysis.
--WIEN2K This package performs electronic structure calculations of solids using density functional theory (DFT).

Export File - This will write unit-cell, symmetry and atomic-coordinate information in most of the Import formats above.

Quit - Quit CRYSCON.
