Improved integration of ERHAM with the AABS package:
new instructions, and new
ERHAMZ_R3, LINERH,
ERHRES programs.

pulse and Balle Flygare type).
|

|
Looks like PROSPE had a quiet 15th anniversary, at least when
counted from its official
creation date. There has been further steady development
over the last few years as highlighted for some of these more
popular programs:
- AABS - for a quick check on new
features you can inspect the key-maps sview_l_keys and ascp_l_keys but complete documentation
is only available in the AABS_HELP.CHM file. Some specific
modifications are:
- SVIEW_L - more spectral modification
and display options and the 0 key operation for inserting predicted
lines into the fitting data file. More detailed listing in
the 'modification history' section of this file
- ASCP_L - many improvements to the
automatic difference frequency plots in the Loomis-Wood screen,
further details in the 'modification history' section of this file.
- PMIFST - direct input from
CFOUR/Firefly/Gaussian computing packages, hydrogen bond
detection options, generation of connectivity input for use in
STRFIT
- STRFIT - improved input error
diagnostics, better documentation, new capabilities for high
symmetry, easy exclusions of constants from fit
- CORSCL - improved automatic generation
of predictions for popular single and double isotopic
substitutions
- PIFORM - comprehensive statistics for
subsets of the overall data set. Various other
post-processing programs in the PICKETT section have also been
updated, as well as the crib_sheet and the annotated official
documentation.

for single isotopic substitutions.
|
